A picture of the micro:bit microphone LED light up, indicating the microphone is operating.
A screenshot of the micro:bit schematics, showing the microphone circuit. It shows the microphone LED will always light up if the microphone is turned on.
Researchers have found a way to turn off a webcam LED while in use.
This is why it was so important during the #microbit design to ensure the mic🎙 LED was wired to its power instead of GPIO. It’s crucial to teach the next gen about privacy & security (or their absence) in the tech they use every day
It's been one year since we opened our doors! Thanks everyone for helping us get off the ground 💕
