BBC micro:bit V2.2

The new micro:bit V2 is the latest revision of everyone’s favorite powerful palm-sized, and fully programmable computer. Conceived by the BBC to encourage children to get actively involved in writing software and building new things that will be controlled by it. V2 is the same size and shape, and it works in the same way as the original micro:bit. So, if you have used the original then this will be instantly familiar to you. Write your code using one of the easy-to-use editors provided on the micro:bit website, connect your BBC micro:bit to your computer via USB, press the download button in the editor, and then download the file to the micro:bit.
