It’s not exactly very scientific… which Arduino model are you referring to for a start? You’d also needed to start looking at the data sheets for the sensors etc to understand if the Microbit can handle such a setup versus the Arduino etc… Things don’t happen in isolation, multiple components drawin...

Well for the first problem, it sounds like a power issue. At a guess, perhaps your USB cable is not delivering sufficient current. Check the cable or try a different one.

On the second problem, I have no experience, sorry.

First off I have not played around much with Bluetooth on the Microbit because I’ve been put off because it is resource intensive. I believe it has improved in v2 and I note the article you referred to was updated this year. So the first thing to check is that you are using the same kit as the artic...

I don’t think it really matter very much… it a question of how you intend to turn on and off the current to a particular piece of equipment. But it is probably a good idea to stay away from high voltage and AC current unless you already know a lot about it. If it were me I look for a DC one of aroun...
