We set out to build the learning board we always wished existed: as approachable as the BBC micro:bit, but as its own board — with full-color output, modern wireless, and room to grow into real projects. (Bitsflow is inspired by the micro:bit; it is not a micro:bit and is not compatible with micro:bit hardware.)
Color changes everything
The 5×5 RGB matrix turns simple programs into something kids actually want to show off — animated emoji, color-coded sensor readouts, tiny games.
from bitsflow import display, Color
display.scroll("Hi!", color=Color.CYAN)
Wireless out of the box
With BLE and Wi-Fi built in, your projects can talk to phones, dashboards and the cloud — no extra modules required.
What’s next
We’re opening pre-books now. Reserve a board and you’ll be among the first to build with Bitsflow. More tutorials coming soon — stay tuned.
