Does anyone know if this will work with apm2.8 flight controller?

Apm 2.8 is arduino compatible you should have no problems.

Does this work with a micro:bit?

Yes but you will need a separate power supply to power to sensor. Needs 5v but 4.5v should work.

is the sensor waterproof??

Hi Georgina, Thank you for your question. Sorry but those sensors are not waterproof. We hope this helps. If you need more information, please feel free to let us know. Have a nice day! Kind regards, ELEGOOEU

I am looking to sense a movement of 1mm - is this switch that accurate?

We could not achieve that accuracy, but it is very dependent on surfaces and surface angles. We were trying to measure distances to people.
