Getting Started with micro:bit

The BBC micro:bit is a great first step for people of all ages to start coding their RVR+ or RVR robot in new environments and languages. Small yet powerful, micro:bit’s inputs and outputs—everything from buttons to a sound sensor to a speaker to an LED light matrix—can expand what you can do with your RVR+/RVR. And unlike with a raspberry Pi, you can connect a micro:bit to a RVR+/RVR with a basic micro USB cord.

Required Equipment

To follow this guide, you’ll need:

  • a programming device with an internet connection and a web browser (recent Chrome or Edge browser preferred)
  • a V1 or V2 micro:bit
  • a RVR+ or RVR
  • a micro USB cable for power and data transfer, shorter than 18 inches.

Let's Get Started

There are two primary options for programming a micro:bit to work with your RVR+/RVR:

  1. Microsoft MakeCode is a beginner-friendly editor with blocks, python, and JavaScript options. Get started on this page.
  2. The new and improved micro:bit Python editor is the ideal programming environment for your very first programs in Python. Get started on this page.
