micro:bit V2 - The new BBC micro:bit - Hands on

The sound upgrades really expand the potential For beginners

One subtle detail I've only just noticed is there are now two I2C buses. The onboard devices get a dedicated i2c bus and the edge connector one is an independent bus. That's rather reminiscent of enterprise solutions of yesteryear for SCSI bus isolation. It may allow the onboard bus to run at a faster speed.

I like it can you teach me later

where can we get the firmware of the micro:bit v2？The official website is only updated to 0253, but v2 need version 0254

Amazing 😉

This looks great Stu. but how to test the new version of Makeode? Do you have an URL for that?

Seeed Studio availability is November 30. I'm pre-ordered. I don't know what I will do with it but I do know it will be a lot of fun. Thanks for the video, Stu

I can't wait. This will help my personal project that I've been working on on my channel.

Random question Stu, what visualizer is that you using?

Can you play jingle bells?

Regarding the sound recording files, Stu. I do not have the MB V2 yet but does it save audio to a file type which can be transferred to computer drive? If so, has anyone tried to load that sound onto MakeCode Arcade game console, like MeowBit or BrainPad? Wondering if we could record ambient sounds, like live rocket launch, and load that into Arcade game ? Thanks.

can the microbit 2.0 communicate by radio to a 1.5 microbit?

Superb... thanks for this. Very well explained. A good balance between theory and practical application. R

they still didnt put rgb leds I AM SO MAD I cant find any good small board with rgb leds :'(

Good video, Stu ! Very informative; I just got a new V2 Microbit with the Yahboom Spiderbit kit. Thanks for your info.

hello, this new microbit no longer connects with android applications like micro: bit and kitronik move. is there a solution?

Atleast sharpen the pencil.

Fantastic, thank you

Hello Stu I am saving up to buy microbit V2

Hi I’m interested in your virtual pet project do you have the code and the picture of the back and front of the pet online? Thanks

Any chance you would share the coding for your little kitty?

Rip to the octopus pet at the end its dead if you hadn't realised.

Does the v2 work with extnsion boards and screens that were for the v1?

bbc is the WORST version of micro:bit i can,t even get it connected to bluetooth or the computer

at the end of the video i saw that the octopus had died

I have a 2.2- no manual or pin outs were included…

❤️❤️❤️

Still a micro-usb? Hilarious. Somebody should wake developers and remind them there is usb-c available since the 2014 ....

I'd buy one if it had blue LEDs, and a 5v output.
EDIT: And obviously a USB-C powered.

Cool Video!!!
