Introduction
Description
The BBC micro:bit is a microcontroller board designed by the BBC specifically for programming education among young people. It is easy, effective, and engaging, with simple and convenient programming. It supports multi-platform development via web browsers, offline desktop software, Android phones, iPhones, and tablets. The official block-based editor is Microsoft MakeCode, and our text-based programming tool is the micro:bit Python editor. The BBC micro:bit also works with Scratch, Code.org App Lab, and a wide range of other tools/editors.

Buttons |
The micro:bit has two buttons on the front that can be used separately or together to make things happen. |
2 |
LED display & light sensor |
25 LEDs arranged in a 5x5 grid make up the display for showing pictures, words and numbers. They can also act as sensors, measuring how much light is falling on your micro:bit. |
3 |
Pins-GPIO |
The GPIO pins allow you to connect headphones, sense touch and add other electronics to expand the possibilities of your micro:bit. The new micro:bit has indentations to grip crocodile clips more securely. |
4 |
Pin-3 volt power |
You can power external LEDs and other electronics using the 3 volt power pin. |
5 |
Pin-Ground |
The GND pin is the ground or Earth pin - it’s used to complete electrical circuits when you connect headphones, LEDs or external switches to your micro:bit. |
6 |
Touch logo - new |
The new micro:bit has an extra input. The gold logo also works as a touch sensor. You can use it as an extra button in your programs, in addition to the A and B buttons. |
7 |
Microphone LED-new |
You can create programs that react to loud and quiet sounds and measure noise levels with the new micro:bit’s built-in microphone. The microphone LED shows you when the microphone is actively measuring sound levels. Just to the left of the LED, you’ll see a small hole where the sound goes in. |
