The micro:bit v2 is a pocket-sized computer that lets you get creative with digital technology. The Hummingbird Bit Robotics Kit, Finch Robot 2.0, and Hatchling Robotics Kit are powered by the micro:bit. You may want to purchase additional micro:bits for projects that use radio functionality.
3 Options When Purchasing a micro:bit
All 3 options include the same micro:bit v2 hardware, but you can choose one that is preprogrammed with the right files for your learning tool.
- micro:bit v2 programmed for use with the Finch Robot and Hummingbird Robotics Kit
- Finch / Hummingbird micro:bit + AAA battery pack + 6 inch USB cable
- micro:bit v2 programmed for use with the Hatchling Robotics Kit
Note: A micro USB cable is required to use a micro:bit, but our cable is not unique - you may already have one. A battery pack for the micro:bit is required if you do not want to remain tethered to a computer by USB.
FAQ: Can a micro:bit work for all tools? Do I have to choose?
All micro:bit v2's are compatible with BirdBrain tools. No matter which micro:bit option you choose here or purchase through another seller, the hardware will be compatible. One extra step of downloading firmware to the micro:bit will likely be required.
Note on Product Compatibility: The micro:bit v2 is compatible with the Hummingbird Duo (previous model), but it requires an additional adapter.
