Do you have any plans to add a BBC Micro:bit component. This is becoming very popular and would be useful in the simulator.

Thanks.

  Thanks for the suggestion, Kesstral!  

  We are evaluating the best way to integrate the MIcro:bit but hope to have, at the very least, a 3D version of the microbit you can begin to embed into your 3D Tinkercad designs.

  Hi, Arduino Uno is a board that is starting to be really obsolete today. I'm using Arduino Micro and Arduino Nano, but I'm using more and more the BBC micro:bit with Microsoft MakeCode for micro:bit (https://makecode.microbit.org/).

  
  Here's what I would like to do with a BBC micro:bit board in Tinkercad Circuits:
  - edit a circuit with the components of Tinkercad Circuits,
  - write code in blocks like Microsoft MakeCode for micro: bit (https://makecode.microbit.org/),
  - simulate circuit and code behavior as with an Arduino board,
  - generate a file in .hex format for the BBC micro: bit card and be able to test experimentally.

  
  Thank you for your work.

  I disagree that the Uno is being phased out.  It is a cheap board that many schools start out with before moving to more diverse boards.  I agree that the BBC micro:Bit is the hot new thing and I'd love to work with it on Tinkercad.

  It would be wonderful to add the micro:bit board to the Components in TinkerCAD.

  PLEASE!

  Yes, micro:bit as components in TinkerCAD and maybe with blockcode will be great. Lots of children in Norwegian schools use micro:bit.

  Vote +1, by a STEM teacher in Alaska, USA who teaches students 3d design using Tinkercad.

  I have used arduino, raspberry pi, picaxe, and parallax boe with students, but micro:bit lowers the bar to physical computing even further. The new 'best fit' for Tinkercad circuits.

  We hear you loud and clear and agree. We have targeted MicroBit as a future area for exploration. We will see what we can do about timing.
