Design an add-on
This issue’s cover feature is “Design an add-on”.One of the awesome features we outlined about the micro:bit in our last issue was the edge connector at the bottom. This is great for providing expandability to your micro:bit and increasing the number of things you can do with it. The market is full of interesting add-on boards you can connect to your micro:bit to enable it to do a whole host of different things, but sometimes, there isn’t an add-on board for everything. So why not make your own? In this issue, we’ll be taking a look at how we can make our very own micro:bit add-on board using a free piece of software called Fritzing and how to take it to the manufacturing stage in a few simple and easy to follow steps.

5 Awesome micro:bit features
This issue’s cover feature is “5 Awesome micro:bit Features”. If you’re a regular reader of micro:mag, you probably already know that the BBC micro:bit is AWESOME. However, it’s easy to get caught up in using accessories such as robots, speakers and LED lights and forget about some of the amazing onboard features the micro:bit has. That’s why this issue we have compiled five of our favourite features of the BBC micro:bit and put them into this cover feature with code examples in three of the major code editors for the micro:bit (MakeCode, EduBlocks and Python) which should cater for all levels of coders.
