Pete Prodoehl 🍕<p>I'm working on a new parametric design to hold micro:bit boards... You can change the number of boards, space between them, and angle they insert... they also snap into place with a nice little "click" and don't fall out. </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/openScad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>openScad</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/3Dprinting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>3Dprinting</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/microbit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>microbit</span></a></p>

Pete Prodoehl 🍕<p>I've had more than one micro:bit board button fail when the solder joint broke loose.</p><p>It also looks like only the bottom leg is connected electrically so if that one comes loose you've got no button.</p><p>(Well, you can press it *really* hard to force it to make contact.)</p><p>Easy to fix with a dab of solder for those who can solder but still a bit annoying.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/microbit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>microbit</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/electronics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>electronics</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/stem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>stem</span></a></p>
iotar<p>Today's charity shop find is a BBC micro:bit, a kind of educational computer gadget from 2016. There was a later version in 2020.</p><p>One wire from the battery pack had been pulled out. Probably by someone who didn't read the handling instructions properly. Easily fixed and besides it can also be powered by USB.<br><a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/bbc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bbc</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/microbit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>microbit</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/computing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>computing</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/education" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>education</span></a></p>
