Meet the new BBC micro:bit
New micro:bit is here. With five million micro:bits already used for teaching digital skills and computational thinking, the updated micro:bit is set to add even more opportunities for learning, exploration and creativity in classrooms.
micro:bit v2
micro:bit v2. The micro:bit v2 introduces a microphone, speaker, and capacitive touch input on the board’s logo. The new blocks designed for the micro:bit v2 will not work with the micro:bit v1. Let’s learn how this works in MakeCode… v2 Blocks. The following blocks require the micro:bit v2 hardware to run.
