Product Overview

The SparkFun Inventor’s Kit for micro:bit v2 is a fantastic way to get creative, connected, and coding. It not only provides the micro:bit v2 board itself, but absolutely everything you need to hook up and experiment with multiple electronic circuits. By following along, you will be able to complete projects that teach you how to read sensors, move motors, build Bluetooth devices, and much more.

Electronics for Everyone

Surrounding this specific SIK is a core philosophy: anyone can (and should) experiment with cutting-edge electronics in a fun, playful way without breaking the bank. By following along, you will be able to complete projects that teach you how to:

  • Read Sensors: Interface with the physical world to gather environmental data.
  • Move Motors: Add motion and physical robotics elements to your builds.
  • Build Bluetooth® Devices: Connect your projects wirelessly to communicate with other devices.

Qwiic Expandability

To take your prototyping even further, this kit includes the SparkFun Qwiic micro:bit Breakout with pre-soldered headers. This addition acts as a bridge to the entire Qwiic ecosystem, giving you instant access to an enormous library of I2C sensors, displays, and relays. Because the Qwiic system is completely plug-and-play, you can rapidly expand upon your micro:bit education without ever needing to touch a soldering iron.

A Brand New Experience

This kit provides foundational education on single-board computers. It requires absolutely no soldering, making it perfectly safe and highly accessible for absolute beginners, yet versatile enough for experienced engineers looking to prototype quickly. And to ensure you get the most out of your kit, we have provided complete online Experiment Guides for you to learn in your choice of MakeCode or MicroPython programming languages. Each feature provides step-by-step instructions to get you started on your journey in the way you prefer!

If you have ever been interested in learning about electronics, or if you have used the original SparkFun Inventor’s Kit and are looking for a brand-new experience, the SIK for micro:bit v2 is exactly what you need!

Kit Examples

Programming Foundations (MakeCode & MicroPython)

  • Navigate the visual, block-based Microsoft MakeCode.
  • Write text-based code using MicroPython.
  • Use fundamental coding concepts.
  • Compile and flash code to the micro:bit hardware via USB.

By exploring both beginner-friendly visual blocks and standard text-based languages, users establish a solid coding foundation. This hands-on approach demystifies the core workflow of writing, compiling, and transferring programs directly to a physical microcontroller.

Circuit Building Basics

  • Prototype circuits safely using a solderless breadboard.
  • Connect to a breakout board to easily access pins.
  • Wire basic electronic components.
  • Understand foundational concepts.

Moving beyond the micro:bit's built-in features, gain the confidence to design and assemble your own external electronic circuits. Working directly with raw components on a breadboard provides practical, real-world experience in routing power and managing electrical signals.

Gathering Data with Sensors & Inputs

  • Read analog electrical signals.
  • Detect physical user interactions via buttons and switches.
  • Measure environmental data using temperature sensors.
  • Track motion and orientation using an accelerometer.

Interacting with the physical world becomes possible by harnessing both digital and analog data from a variety of external and onboard sensors. This empowers creators to program their hardware to actively detect, measure, and respond to environmental changes and user inputs.

Controlling Outputs, Audio, and Motion

  • Create custom colors with an external RGB LED.
  • Generate tones and alarms using a piezo buzzer.
  • Program physical movement on a servo motor.
  • Map sensor input data directly to output behaviors.

To bring projects to life, users will discover how to convert their code and gather sensor data into tangible light, sound, and mechanical motion. Mastering these outputs completes the cycle of building fully interactive and responsive electromechanical systems.
