## AI Product Insights

The AusBoard for micro:bit is an Australian-made add-on board shaped like Australia, designed to help you visualise data using light. It features **8 addressable WS2812 RGB LEDs** that your micro:bit can control individually, letting you colour different regions/states to represent things like **temperature**, **population**, or to build geography and STEM activities (for example, learning state capitals). It’s a great classroom/demo piece because it turns code outputs into an immediate, colourful display.

Compatibility-wise, it’s built to be driven by a **BBC micro:bit (V1 or V2)**. The example code mentioned is based on **micro:bit V2** (and uses V2 features like audio for the anthem), but the LED visuals will still work on **V1** (just without the tune). The package is **AusBoard only**, so you’ll need your own micro:bit plus a **USB cable** for programming and ideally a **battery pack** for portable projects. If you’re comparing options, a generic NeoPixel/WS2812 strip or ring is more flexible for custom shapes, but the AusBoard’s Australia map layout is purpose-built for teaching geography and presenting state-based data at a glance.

### Key Features

- **LED type:** WS2812 addressable RGB LEDs
