Light Sensors
LEDs when reversed behaves as basic light sensor to detect the ambient light
Temperature Sensor
Temperature sensor measures ambient temperature in degree Celsius
Accelerometer
Used to measure acceleration along different axes, and detect motion and position such as tilt, shake, free fall
Compass
This sensor detects the Earth’s magnetic field allowing to detect which direction micro:bit is facing
Radio
This provides wireless connectivity to micro:bit and establish wireless communication between two micro: bit
Bluetooth
Bluetooth allows micro:bit to communicate with PCs, phone using Bluetooth communication. So, now you can easily control your phone using micro:bit
