In addition, the Joy-Pi Advanced features more than 30 stations, lessons, and modules, giving you an unlimited variety of ways to get your projects done. With the self-developed learning center, you can not only improve your skills but also create new projects. The learning center offers a wealth of information and tutorials that will guide you step by step through your projects. Joy-Pi Advanced is characterized in particular by its intelligent switch units, which allow an extended use of the available pins. A total of three switch units are integrated, each equipped with 12 individual switches that provide precise control of the connected sensors and modules. This system solves the well-known problem of limited pin count that occurs with conventional microcontrollers. The switch units allow you to operate a large number of sensors and modules in parallel by switching them on and off individually. This simulates multiple pin assignment, allowing you to exploit the full power of your projects without compromising functionality. By combining innovative adapter boards and the micro:bit slot, you can achieve seamless compatibility with a wide range of microcontrollers such as Raspberry Pi Pico, NodeMCU ESP32, micro:mit and Arduino Nano. The specially developed adapter boards are designed to perfectly match the respective microcontroller. By plugging the microcontroller onto the appropriate adapter board and then plugging it into the micro:bit slot, the Joy-Pi Advanced quickly and easily becomes compatible with the different microcontrollers. This allows seamless integration of your preferred platform and the ability to combine the strengths of the different microcontrollers in your projects. This way, you can fully focus on your creative projects without worrying about the compatibility of different microcontrollers. The Joy-Pi Advanced simplifies the development process and gives you the possibility to design your projects flexibly and individually.

What is BBC micro:bit?

The BBC micro:bit is a compact computer that teaches users how software and hardware work together. The micro:bit features an ARM Cortex-M0 processor, an LED light display with 25 LEDs, two programmable buttons, sensors, and many input and output functions that, when programmed, enable interaction with you and your environment.

The micro:bit was created to inspire young learners to take an interest in programming computer software and making new things. It was developed to work alongside other systems, like the Raspberry Pi, and to continue the BBC's tradition of educational computing with the BBC Micro.

The greatest feature of the micro:bit is its ability to quickly switch between block code and JavaScript. Initially, block coding can be used to introduce learners to computer programming. After mastering the basics, students can move on to the more advanced programming language, JavaScript.

How can you use the BBC micro:bit?

The BBC micro:bit has been used in many applications, such as digital watches, fitness trackers, and gaming consoles. The LED screen and the two programmable buttons can be used for playing games or for navigating through tracks in a playlist.

Furthermore, the BBC micro:bit v2, following the immense success of the BBC micro:bit v1, is a super-charged version of the popular pocket-sized computer, featuring a built-in microphone, a speaker, and a touch sensor.
