The BBC has a long history of supporting technology education in schools. The BBC Micro introduced a whole generation of students to computers, and more recently the Micro:bit is teaching today&#82… ...

The signs were triggered by the proximity sensor on two micro:bits that sent radio signals to initiate the trigger. The loud scream was triggered using the proximity sensor.

The rings are suitable for crocodile clips or 4mm banana plugs, meaning an external sensor can be connected to measure things like temperature, moisture, proximity to other devices.

First, we need a DHT11 sensor, and to check whether it works using one micro:bit. To do this, we must teach the MakeCode editor new tricks. Go to “Extensions”, type in “DHT11” and click on ...

The BBC Micro:bit, while not quite as popular in our community as other microcontroller development boards, has a few quirks that can make it a much more interesting piece of hardware to build a pr… ...

As the Micro Bit mini-computer is handed out to school children across the UK, some of the people who got to test the device describe their experiments.

The Air:bit is the first drone to be built using the micro:bit mini PC created by the BBC And launched throughout the UK back in 2016 to teach coding and hardware in schools.
