Incompatible Devices and Browsers

  • iPad (any generation) - Unfortunately, at this time the iPad currently has difficulty consistently connecting and communicating with the micro:bit which is essential for the operation of the Climate Action Kit. 

Ipad support is currently under review and development. No timeline is available at this time for general compatibility. 

  • Safari - Despite this browser's popularity it currently does not support WebUSB connections and therefore will not connect to the micro:bit.
  • Firefox - Similarly, this browser does not support WebUSB so the micro:bit will not connect as required.
  • Internet Explorer - Microsoft has discontinued support for this browser since 2022 and as a result, it is now exceedingly out of date and would not be compatible.
