[FRIAM] MicroBit

[Owen Densmore]

This is the tiny, but feature packed, chip we discussed at Saveur last
week: https://microbit.org/guide/features/. Great learning tool.

It is surprisingly capable .. it can "chat" to other microbits .. let them
"swarm". It is programmable with "blocks", python, javascript.

> 25 individually-programmable LEDs
> 2 programmable buttons
> Physical connection pins
> Light and temperature sensors
> Motion sensors (accelerometer and compass)
> Wireless Communication, via Radio and Bluetooth
> USB interface


You use a browser based simulator to write programs, loading them to the
microbit via usb cable. A $20 starter package has the microbit, a usb
cable, and a battery pack for using the microbit disconnected from your
computer.
