Hello and welcome back to another Friday Product Post! This week we have a few new products to cover and they mainly focus on new accessories for the micro:bit v2. We start the day with the MI:power Board V2 that supplies power to your micro:bit while on the move. After that, we have two new versions of the MI:pro cases to protect your micro:bit from the elements and ESD issues. We also have a header kit for your Raspberry Pi Pico and a new 2.5 mm audio cable! Now, let’s jump in and take a closer look at what we’ve got.

Kitronik MI:power Board V2

Kitronik MI:power Board V2

DEV-17852

$6.95

The MI:power Board for the BBC micro:bit brings real portability to your wearable projects. The stylish, lightweight PCB is designed to fit snugly against the BBC micro:bit and features a built-in buzzer and 3V coin cell holder. This latest version has been redesigned to fit both the original micro:bit and micro:bit V2.


MI:pro Protector Case for micro:bit V2

MI:pro Protector Case for micro:bit V2

PRT-17867

$4.95

This MI:pro Protector Case for the BBC micro:bit has been designed to work with both the original micro:bit V1 and the micro:bit V2. These cases feature a four-layer construction style with ability to mount a 2xAAA battery pack to the back of the case while still providing access to all buttons and ports on the micro:bit. Though these cases do protect the micro:bit astoundingly well, the biggest benefit of using the MI:pro is to not accidentally short out the pads on the back of the micro:bit.


MI:pro Mountable Case for micro:bit V2

MI:pro Mountable Case for micro:bit V2

PRT-17868

$4.95

The Mountable MI:pro is a simple and compact protective case for the micro:bit. This case has been specifically designed with portability and expansion in mind and is compatible with both the original micro:bit V1 and the micro:bit V2. These cases feature a three-layer construction style with ability to wall-mount the whole assembly onto any surface you want while still providing access to all buttons and ports on the micro:bit. Though these cases do feature wall-mountable tabs, the biggest benefit of using a case is to not accidentally short out the pads on the back of the micro:bit, just like the Protector Case above.
