Description

Waveshare Speaker for micro:bit Music Player is a compact audio expansion module for micro:bit that lets you add sound output, music playback, and interactive audio feedback to your projects. It is designed to make the micro:bit work more like a small music player, while also giving makers and students an easy way to add sound to experiments, robots, games, and classroom demos.

This speaker module for micro:bit integrates the NS8002 Hi-Fi audio amplifier chip, supports volume adjustment, and includes an earphone jack output. According to the official information, it can also be used for Arduino development and is compatible with 3.3V / 5V Arduino boards, which makes it more flexible than a simple micro:bit-only buzzer module.
