That is a pretty cheap board. It even includes the header that you can solder yourself. Meanwhile, the microbit has gotten cheaper. When first out the web site said the board was $75 and the kit with the board was $50. Now you can get the board for under $15 and the Go kit for under $17. I assume shipping is extra. https://www.pi-supply.com/product/microbit/?aelia_cs_currency=USD&feed_country=US&gclid=CNfjh-6T4M8CFQMehgodDAsG0g https://www.pi-supply.com/product/microbit-go/?aelia_cs_currency=USD&feed_country=US&gclid=CLLohPKT4M8CFUJbhgodXi8JzQ Not sure I need one. Now that it runs Mecrisp, it could be useful, but I have plenty of small MCU boards and no new needs for more. I have some Cypress boards that I wish Mecrisp ran on, but I don't think it was ever ported completely. No matter, even without the Cypress boards I have plenty of things to play with. -- Rick C
