micro:bit v2.2 — The kid-safe board for fast classroom & maker projects
The BBC micro:bit v2.2 is a tiny, friendly microcontroller that helps beginners jump into coding, electronics, and robotics fast. It packs an LED matrix, buttons, motion & direction sensors, a microphone and speaker (v2), Bluetooth® LE, and big ring pads for alligator clips—so you can build demos without soldering.
Use Microsoft MakeCode blocks to start, then switch to MicroPython or C/C++ as you grow. It’s perfect for STEM activities, quick prototypes, wearables, and low-power IoT experiments.
Why you’ll love it
- All-in-one learning tool: LEDs, buttons, mic/speaker (v2), accelerometer & compass—no extra parts required to start.
- Beginner to advanced: MakeCode blocks → Python/C++ when you’re ready.
- No-solder starts: Three large rings (P0, P1, P2) accept alligator clips for instant experiments.
What you can build
- Wearable step counter, compass, or gesture controller.
- 2-wheel robot with obstacle sensing and line following.
- Classroom radio games and data-logging projects.
Starter bundles
- GO basics: Board + Micro-USB cable + 2×AAA battery holder.
- Robot starter: Board + 2WD robot chassis or ACEBOTT TinkerBott micro:bit car + ultrasonic sensor + OLED status screen.
Recommended add-ons
- 0.96″ I2C OLED for text/graphics.
- 4-channel logic level shifter when mixing 5 V modules.
- Micro-USB cable with inline switch for quick resets.
- Alligator clip leads for the large ring pads.

FAQs — micro:bit (Philippines)
Is this the latest micro:bit with mic & speaker?
Yes, v2 boards include a built-in microphone and speaker for sound-reactive projects.
What cable and battery pack do I need?
Use a Micro-USB cable for data/power and a 2×AAA battery holder for portable use.
Can it drive 5 V modules?
micro:bit I/O is 3.3 V. Use a bi-directional level shifter with 5 V sensors or Arduino-style shields.
Do you ship nationwide?
Yes—fast shipping across the Philippines, with same-day dispatch for many Metro Manila orders.
Tip: For quick classroom wins, pair micro:bit with 0.96″ OLED or go straight to a robot base like 2WD chassis or ACEBOTT TinkerBott.
