The BBC Micro:bit is a single-board computer that was originally developed for educational purposes only. But due to the great demand, this handicraft computer is not only available on the free market, but also in the second version.

The mini computer with a size of 40 x 50 mm is aimed at both beginners and experienced hobbyists. Four programming interfaces are available for the developer board: Code Kingdoms JavaScript, Microsoft Blocks, Microsoft Touch Develop and MicroPython. This allows programming graphically or via text editor. In addition to programming on a PC via USB connection, programming via smartphone or tablet is also practical.
