Children can get creative, get connected and code with the BBC micro:bit go complete starter pack. The BBC micro:bit go complete starter pack is the quickest and easiest way for children to get going with the micro:bit and get creative with technology and become inventors at home, at a makerspace, or in the classroom. The micro:bit is a pocket-sized computer that you can code, customise and control to bring your digital ideas, games, and apps to life. Measuring 4cm by 5cm, and designed to be fun and easy to use, users can create anything from games and animations to scrolling stories at school, at home and on the go – all you need is imagination and creativity. The micro:bit is completely programmable. That means each of its LEDs can be individually programmed as can its buttons, inputs and outputs, accelerometer, magnetometer, and Bluetooth Smart Technology. It also connects to other devices, sensors, kits, and objects, and is a companion to Arduino, Galileo, Kano, littleBits, Hummingbird Robotics and Raspberry Pi, acting as a springboard to more complex learning. The BBC micro:bit Go features: Microprocessor: 32-bit ARM® Cortex™ M0 CPU A 5×5 LED matrix with 25 red LEDs to light up and can display animated patterns, scrolling text and alphanumeric characters Two programmable buttons. Use them as a games controller, or control music on a smartphone On-board motion detector or 3-AXIS digital accelerometer that can detect movement e.g. shake, tilt or free-fall A built-in compass, 3D magnetometer to sense which direction you’re facing and your movement in degrees and detect the presence of certain metals and magnets Bluetooth® Smart Technology. Connect the micro:bit to other micro:bits, devices, phones, tablets, cameras, and other everyday objects 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 Micro-USB controller: This is controlled by a separate processor and presents the micro:bit to a computer as a memory stick Five Ring Input and Output (I/O) including power (PWR), ground (GRD) and 3 x I/O.
