There are several platforms that allow you to program the micro:bit, with MakeCode being one of the most widely used, available in both online and offline versions. The online version can be accessed at the following link: https://makecode.microbit.org/ T...

We are going to use the online version of MakeCode, available in https://makecode.microbit.org/#editor General description Simulator: Located in the upper-left corner of the screen, the simulator displays a virtual micro:Bit where you can see your progra...

Let’s write a programme that displays a heart at the start and changes its expression for a second when we shake the board. By default, MakeCode places two events in the programming area that can be used to start the code: ‘On Start’ and ‘Forever’. There a...

The pannel consists of 25 red LEDs, which can be programmed independently.  It can display numbers, letters and images. The system is designed to scroll automatically if the characters to be displayed do not fit. Challenge #1: Hello World When you’re learnin...

The temperature sensor integrated into micro:bit detect the ambient temperature in Celsius degrees. Challenge #1: Digital Thermometer A thermometer is an instrument used to measure temperature. The most common type consists of a sealed glass capillary tube e...

Light sensors are used to detect the level of brightness and produce an output signal representative of the amount of light detected. The LEDs on the micro:bit board can also act as an input by detecting ambient light. MakeCode includes a "light level" block i...

The micro:bit board also includes a sound sensor. Some of the activities that we carried out with the light sensor can be performed with the sound sensor too. MakeCode includes a "sound level" block in the 'Input' category that reads the ambient sound value de...
