 There was an opportunity to have early access to a spare BBC micro:bit.

 ====== Calliope is the German Version ======
-The same basic processor, but now all components on one side, with added microphone and loudspeaker.

+The same basic processor, and the best, the basic //Mecrisp Forth Binary// Matthias Koch did is identical for both systems.
+Now all components are on one side, with added microphone and loudspeaker.
 The connector holes have been put at the end of the star shape – less risk of short circuits
-Github with all of the data, [[https://calliope.cc/ueber-mini]] in German and in English.\\

 You can buy it here [[http://www.exp-tech.de/en/calliope-mini]].\\
 Price is a bit higher – but contains components that you have to buy separately with micro:bit.
-Files as a first step on how the Calliope IO works. Thanks to Carsten Strotmann

+===== Documents =====
-( and probably for the Japanese micro:bit version – to be tested [[https://microbit-playground.co.uk/blog/chibi-microbit-clone]] ).
 There is an eBook in German and English – not about Forth yet but a lot of examples and background information. And showing small examples that work in other languages, and that can be re-implemented in Forth on both boards as programming exercise. \\
