Developer: BBC
Type: Single-board microcontroller, Development kit
CPU: Nordic Semiconductor nRF51822, 16 MHz ARM Cortex-M0 microcontroller, 256 KB Flash, 16 KBRAM
Connectivity: Bluetooth BLE, microUSB, edge connector
Other Features: 5x5 LED matrix, 2 tactile buttons, magnetometer, accelerometer, light sensor, temperature sensor, reset button
I/O: 21 Physical input/output accessible via edge connector, including 3 ring connectors (plus 1 power and ground) that can be accessed via crocodile clips or banana plugs
Operating Voltage: 3V (via microUSB or battery pack)
Software: Microsoft MakeCode, MicroPython (official, browser-based); Edublocks, Mu (third-party); Micro:bit app
Great For: Beginners with no prior programming knowledge
Advantage: Wearable and highly portable due to its size, has a lot of sensors built-in, can communicate with each other, no drivers needed for hardware. No installation needed for software. Can support a number of popular programming languages by default. Has an upgrade path to robotics using ready-made or customized kits from various third party vendors.
