Until then... >> >> -- >> >> Rick C > > Rick, in comparison to you it is a starting point for many who have bought a MicroBit and even more for people here in the group, who want to try out the MicroBit running Forth - Mecrisp as a first Forth controlling the MicroBit - but hopefully many more to follow - as well to evaluate the MBED setup. As said before, there are many here it seems who think it is not a good product - sorry but they are commenting in the wrong thread as there are a million boards against them. If the MicroBit gets kids interested in programming and microcomputers, then it is a good thing. I think those who are saying it is not the greatest board (including me) are looking at it from their own perspective, more advanced programmers who need embedded platforms with a variety of features both in the hardware and the software. So many of the needs and requirements do not overlap. In that light it is not surprising some of those here are telling that they are not impressed with the high price of the Microbit or the lack of the features they desire. We aren't saying the Microbit is a poor educational device, we are saying it isn't the best for us. -- Rick C
