Hi - does anyone know if micro:bit accessories will work with the Mbits ESP32? They look nearly identical, and there are a ton of accessories for the micro:bit but I have the Mbits.

thanks!

Hello @tudiver and welcome to the RobotShop forum,

Most of the sensors and cables will work for the Mbits as well, but some other accessories like the case won’t work as they are not exactly the same size.

You can find the differences here:

Also, keep in mind that the libraries or sample code available might not work because the programming languages are not the same for both boards. However, as the MBits is based on the ESP32, the board supports Arduino programming, so you will most likely still be able to find sample codes for the sensors.

I hope that helps!
