There are a huge range of accessories available for the BBC micro:bit.  The Foundation aims to ensure that whenever a change is made to the board, such as the onboard speaker and microphone on the latest revision, that we are considerate of all the accessories that exist and work with accessory makers to ensure they are compatible.


Accessories can now have a badge to denote compatibility.  If you are an accessory maker and would like to use the badges in your packaging, see our brand guidelines for further advice on usage.


If you are not sure which micro:bit version you have, see our article on How to identify the version number of your micro:bit
