Concept
A beginner SBC with on-board sensors and a 5×5 LED matrix so kids see results without wiring first.
A little theory
nRF52833 (V2): Cortex-M4, BLE, microphone, speaker. Edge connector exposes GPIO/I2C. 3.3 V logic. In the classroom, treat BBC micro:bit V2 as a beginner part using LED matrix, buttons, I2C, GPIO edge, BLE, mic, speaker. Typical India street price is about ₹1400–₹2800. Always verify voltage and pin labels on your exact module — silk screens vary across clones. Start with a datasheet or trusted learn guide, power the part correctly, share GND with the MCU, and test with a simple blink/read sketch before building the full project. Measure voltages with a multimeter when something fails, and keep actuator current off the MCU regulator.
