/nordic/nordic-blog/b/blog/posts/bbc-microbit-rolling-out-nowNow delivering into kids hands in UK BBC micro:bit has, as I write this, been delivered into the hands of 450 000 UK schoolchildren with a further 500 000+ to be handed out over the next couple of weeks. On 22nd March I was present at the official..en-USTelligent Community 13https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/nordic/nordic-blog/b/blog/posts/bbc-microbit-rolling-out-nowMon, 25 Apr 2016 08:00:07 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:8c7c123e-ef1d-4a18-b396-34cbd983d1e9John Leonard0<p>Hi Janek, hope so, the initial feedback has been very good and the kids seem to love them. The engineers here at Nordic who have used them love them too and don&#39;t like giving them back! :-)</p> <img src="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/aggbug?PostID=918&AppID=4&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/nordic/nordic-blog/b/blog/posts/bbc-microbit-rolling-out-nowSun, 24 Apr 2016 03:20:33 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:8c7c123e-ef1d-4a18-b396-34cbd983d1e9Janek Mann0<p>I haven&#39;t seen a single one pop up on eBay yet...

Honorable idea and big up for making it done till the actual deployment! I just wish to have it for public purchase with nRF52 (I know that whole thing was prepared for 2 years or more so choice of nRF51 is obvious and correct)... so 99% of excitement with 1% of sadness;)</p> <p>Cheers Jan</p> <img src="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/aggbug?PostID=918&AppID=4&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/nordic/nordic-blog/b/blog/posts/bbc-microbit-rolling-out-nowFri, 15 Apr 2016 09:48:28 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:8c7c123e-ef1d-4a18-b396-34cbd983d1e9Luis0<p>Great post! Thank you for sharing it.</p> <p>Few questions:</p> <ul> <li>Is it already available to buy or not yet? Any idea about estimated final price for everyone?</li> <li>Is the SWD programming interface available?</li> <li>Does it use a revision 2 chip? :(</li> </ul> <img src="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/aggbug?PostID=918&AppID=4&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">
