Your first Micro:bit project
The Micro:bit is a kid-friendly microcontroller. Microcontrollers are a bit like computers but simpler and less powerful. I really like the Micro:bit because it is easy to program and allows me to interact with lights, sound, motors and many other fun things To write code for the Micro:bit you go to this site: https://makecode.microbit.org/#editor This is what it looks like. The thing in the middle contains all the coding blocks (Basic, Input, Music ...). You can drag them on to the right side of the screen to build your program. At the start you get the "on start" and "forever" blocks. Finally, the thing on the left is the simulator. Here you will see what your code does Today we are going to do a simple project to get some skills. I will need these skills for a cool project that we call "Vortex". We will talk about "Vortex" in a future post When you look at the Micro:bit you will see that it has 2 buttons ("A" and "B") and a...
