Moreover, this board has a sleeping mode to lower power consumption of batteries and it can be entered if users long press the Reset & Power button on the back of it. It is capable of reading the data of sensors, controlling servos and RGB lights and attaching with a shield so as to connect with various sensors.
Page 12 For the Micro: Bit main board, pressing the Reset & Power button, it will reset the board and rerun the program.If you hold it tight, the red LED will slowly get darker.When the power indicator flickers into darkness, releasing the button and your Micro: Bit board will enter sleep mode for power saving .This will make the battery more durable.
