The second micro:bit detects gestures with its accelerometer ... This project is a great way to teach students how to program microcontrollers, work with sensor inputs, and just generally how ...

Here’s how it works. For this project you'll just need a BBC micro:bit, as this comes with an accelerometer, commonly used in mobile devices to determine device orientation and screen rotation.

Children can program the micro:bit using Blockly, TouchDevelop or Python before loading their own projects over USB or using a smartphone app. The display can be used to show messages or ...

The programmer uses drag-and-drop to pick blocks from a predefined set and stitch them together to make a program. Maybe picture will help: On the left is a micro:bit emulator which demonstrates ...

There is no volume control in this program (it's either playing a note or not). A second micro:bit could be used to control the volume, and the in-built radio could be used to communicate the ...

All you have to do is move the blocks around and create your program, and before deploying it to the micro:bit, you can run it inside the browser and check that everything works as it should.

The partnership of BBC Education, Micro:bit Educational Foundation and Nominet, will give nearly 700k micro:bits to UK schools and is boosted by familiar CBBC brands In an ever-evolving digital ...

In this activity, students 3D print then assemble a solar panel frame, and then attach a micro:bit, moto:bit, and servo motor to the frame. Then students must develop a program to remotely control the ...
