Description
Microbit is designed by the BBC for programming education for programming learners, and jointly developed by Microsoft, Samsung, ARM, Lancaster University, and so on. This is a small board with several sensors that allow students to access programming and control hardware without barriers.
The BitMaker V2 is an upgraded BitMaker expansion board designed for micro:bit where it has been equipped with JST 2.0 battery connector and an updated slot for better holding alligator clips. The usage is of it as straightforward as it can be easily sliding into the micro:bit. With built-in a programmable RGB LED, a power switch, a power indicator, on-board Grove modules connectors, and JST 2.0 battery connector, BitMaker V2 ensures the micro:bit be able to apply various functional Grove series which provides beginners more options in regard to the micro:bit projects, or helps them extend their original demos like adding an external battery to apply additional wireless function.

If you are looking for one kit bundled BitMaker and Grove, we highly recommend purchasing a BitGadget Kit which includes a BitMaker and 9 different Grove modules! This will be a nice choice for micro:bit intermediate learners to carry out micro:bit experiments.
Education Focus
With the BitMaker V2, students can apply open-source electronics and grasp programming skills at the same time. Students can design and deploy their own projects through graphical programming individually, exercising creative thinking.
This kit is suitable for:
- Maker teachers
- DIY hobbyists
- highschool students
- micro:bit beginners

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- Grove
- Grove is a standardised 4-pin plug-in connector system for sensors and modules that avoids soldering and jumper wires, with different cable types carrying I2C, UART, analogue or digital signals. When a product is Grove-compatible it can be quicker to connect supported modules, provided the connector type, signal and voltage all match.
- LED
- A light-emitting diode (LED) is a small electronic component that emits light when current flows through it in the correct direction. Because it only conducts one way, its polarity matters, and a through-hole LED must be soldered the correct way around to light up.
- MicroPython
- A version of the Python programming language made to run on microcontrollers. It matters because it lets beginners write readable code to control LEDs, sensors, motors and displays without needing to start with lower-level languages.
- RGB
- Short for red, green and blue, the three primary colours of light that are mixed in varying amounts to make a wide range of colours. In electronics RGB can refer to an LED or pixel that blends these three colours, or to a colour signal or interface that carries separate red, green and blue channels.
