BBC Micro:Bit V2.2 Go Kit without Battery kit

Micro bit “GO” by BBC is the same micro bit board everyone loves, bundled up with a few of the core essentials to get started. This kit includes a JST-PH 2 x AAA battery pack, 2 x AAA batteries and a Micro USB cable. This means you have all the accessories you need to get started coding your micro: bit for the first time, and you will be able to power your project on the GO!

Micro:Bit is a pocket-sized microcontroller designed for kids and beginners learning how to program, letting them easily bring ideas into DIY digital games, interactive projects and robotics. The Micro: Bit comes with a variety of onboard modules, including a 5×5 LED matrix (also supports light detection), 2 programmable buttons, motion detector, compass and Bluetooth Smart module. Additionally, you may attach more modules such as a servo motor, RGB LED lights through five I/O rings or 20 edge connectors.

And here comes the Micro: Bit Go bundle, an on-the-go starter kit with a USB cable, 2AAA batteries and battery holder, allowing you to upload program and carry it around right after the unboxing. Micro: Bit can be programmed with Microsoft Blocks Editor via graphical editor or JavaScript editor. The Microsoft Blocks Editor is available on Windows，macOS, IOS and Android, supporting wireless programming via mobile devices.

The micro: bit go kit contains:

1. Microprocessor: 32-bit ARM Cortex M0 CPU
2. A 5×5 LED matrix with 25 red LEDs to light up and can display animated patterns, scrolling text and alphanumeric characters
3. Two programmable buttons. Use them as a games controller, or control music on a smartphone
4. The onboard motion detector or 3-AXIS digital accelerometer that can detect movement e.g. shake, tilt or free-fall
5. A built-in compass, a 3D magnetometer to sense which direction you’re facing and your movement in degrees and detect the presence of certain metals and magnets
6. Bluetooth Smart Technology. Connect the micro: bit to another micro: bits, devices, phones, tablets, cameras and other everyday objects
7. 20 pin edge connector: This allows the micro: bit to be connected to other devices such as Raspberry Pi, Arduino, Galileo and Kano through a standard connector
8. Micro-USB controller: This is controlled by a separate processor and presents the micro: bit to a computer as a memory stick
9. Five Ring Input and Output (I/O) including power (PWR), ground (GRD) and 3 x I/O.
10. System LED x 1 (yellow)
11. System push button switch x 1
12. System push button switch x 1
