Product Description

The micro:bit V2 is the latest upgrade to the beloved pocket-sized computer from the Micro:bit Educational Foundation. Released in October 2020, it retains the familiar form factor of earlier versions while introducing a suite of widely requested enhancements tailored for education, creativity, and hands‑on learning.   Hardware Improvements

• Upgraded microcontroller: Nordic nRF52833 SoC (ARM Cortex‑M4 at 64 MHz, with 512 KB flash and 128 KB RAM)
• USB interface controller chip: NXP KL27Z (with 32 KB RAM)
• New audio features: Built-in MEMS microphone (with LED indicator) and speaker—opening possibilities for sound-interactive projects
• Touch-sensitive logo: A tactile touch sensor for engaging input that's intuitive and fun to use
• Enhanced power management: Includes an on-board power (sleep/off) mode and status LED; can shut down by holding the reset/power button

Connectivity & Sensors

• Bluetooth 5.0 / 2.4 GHz Radio: Improved wireless communication over the previous Bluetooth 4.0
• Motion sensing: 3-axis accelerometer and magnetometer (compass) remain, powered by ST LSM303 senso
• LED matrix and buttons: 5×5 programmable LED grid plus two user buttons—standard but essential
