I previously announced the upcoming launch of the new micro:bit v2. I’m pleased to say that the board is now available to purchase! The micro:bit v2 features:

• An integrated speaker
• An integrated MEMS-type microphone
• A new capacitive touch button built into the main logo on the front
• A new sleep mode to enable low power consumption when not in use
• A new processor (nRF52833)
• The flash memory has been doubled to 512kb
• The RAM has been increased to 512kb (an 8x improvement!)
• The ability for add-on boards to draw up to 200mA current
• A new “notched” edge connector to allow crocodile clips to connect more securely.

You can currently buy the board for around £13.50 from Pimoroni and from okdo. Other resellers will no doubt be online in the next week or so.
