A Pleasant Surprise!

Found this care package on my doorstep this morning!

Totally unexpected, totally awesome! Thank you element14!

 

I've been wanting to try out the Micro:Bit for a while, and the PocketBeagle had caught my eye recently too, so it was really nice to see both of those items in this care package too image

 

The timing is pretty good too, with the longer darker evenings of fall and winter I should have some time to join projects such as Project14 | Build Wearable Tech: PocketBeagles for Project ideas!

    ntewinkel The same happened for me a while back, I was planning to get a micro:bit to lay my hands on them. Then there was the surprise package from Element14 community team with a micro:bit and some swags. More than surprises they do it at the exact time when it has to be (as you have mentioned already) mine arrived when Test Instrumentation was in progress but unfortunately I was not able to conceive a project to submit. Maybe soon I'll post a project with micro:bit I'm planning to complete.

     

    And other same thing between you and me is that pocket beagle is in my wish list too!

     

    Great that you have them all. Have fun image
