the micro it was given away free to year 7 pupils and was not available to buy retail. only recently at the end of May it was announced that that would be available as retail. That is more than likely why it is out of stock everywhere

Regards

My main objective is to understand the Microbit so that when my grandchildren talk about it, I both understand and may even be able to help them.

.

A very worthy sentiment

Have you looked to see if they have a simulator? Ive seen an Arduino one somewhere. You write the code and it pretends to be uploading to an Arduino and the simulator shows the output.

So many options out there now, all slightly unique in some way. I have Arduino boards but needed the Lauchpad for the DRO project. But it still has issues with my calipers.

Would have been cheaper to keep the Arduino and buy new calipers..

Oh well i didnt like food anyway, what can i spend tomorrows dinner money on?

Hi Dave,
I assume it is Yuriys Android tablet DRO that you are building. What type of calipers are you trying to get working and what kind of problem are you having.

Les.

Does anyone here understand the Micro Python (MU) programming language as used with the BBC Microbit as I could do with a little help.
