How to save the code to your Micro:bit

So far we have only used the simulator but today we are going to learn how to save the code to our Micro:bit. So, hopefully you have already got yourself a physical Micro:bit, so let's go

First, once you have your code ready, click the "Save" button, like in this picture:

A ".hex" file will be created and downloaded to your computer. A message like the one below will appear. Then click "Done"

This is the file we will upload to our Micro:bit. To find the file in your computer, click on the downloaded file at the bottom of your browser and select "Show in folder"

Now, connect the Micro:bit to the USB port in your computer. It will show up as if it was a USB stick. As you can see in my computer shows as "MICROBIT(D:)"

Now simply right-click on the file, select "Send to MICROBIT(D:)". An orange light starts flashing on the Micro:bit. The code is fully uploaded when the light stops flashing and your Micro:bit is ready to go
