BBC Micro:Bit?

[HarryA]

Is the BBC Micro:Bit project alive and well? I just saw a book on Amazon.com
"Learn the Micro:Bit using the Arduino IDE"

Hello,

There seems to be a website for the micro:bit
https://www.microbit.org/
There even seem to be suppliers all over the world for the micro:bit
https://www.microbit.org/buy/

I think it is more a UK school thing than a hobby thing.

Bought four microbit's and a whole load of accessories thinking it looked like a great product.

Found it so uninspiring that I gave the whole lot away (to a neighbour's son).

.... kept me amused for a week or two though...

What do you want to do? Maybe you better get an Arduino?
