Following this morning’s announcement of the BBC’s Micro
Bit programmable computer, WIRED.co.uk takes a closer look at the
new piece of technology, and speaks to one of the people behind its
creation.
The first thing anyone will notice is how ridiculously small it
is. We compared it to about half the size of a credit card; up
close it’s probably a bit smaller than even that, though
understandably a bit thicker. The second thing is that it blinks at
you, thanks to a bank of 25 embedded LEDs. The only port onboard is
a MicroUSB connector, but it does include low-power Bluetooth for
some level of wireless connectivity.
