Micro: bit

Hello, today I am going to build a finger-guessing game with the micro:bit. If we shake the micro:bit, the micro:bit displays the scissor, stone or cloth at random, then we can play it with our partners.

Through the introduction of the turtle extension library in the previous article, we have learned the basic concepts of turtle graphics. In this article, let’s learn how to draw a helix with micro:bit. Press the button A to draw a helix on the LED screen, and press button B to eliminate the helix as the same way:

We’ve added some additional functions to the project we shared last week---micro:bit avoiding bricks.

Let’s use micro:bit to make a game of avoiding bricks. It can control the spots by gravity to avoid the falling bricks. Once it touches the bricks, the game ends. Let's see how it works:

The Christmas day is coming now! Let’s make a candies ejector to send out candies to Children.

Now I’m going to use micro:bit to make a breathing light. The breathing light means that the light changes gradually from bright to dark under the control of a micro:bit, and it feels like a person is breathing. It is widely used in mobile phones and has become one of the selling points of new mobile phones of major brands, acting as a notification reminder. First look at the effect:

It might be awkward for us to directly say “I love you” to our loved ones in Chinese culture, if you have a micro:bit in hand, how could we use it to express our love? Now I am gonna make a heart-beating icon in the micro:bit display as below:

It is set for people who are too busy to water the plants. With the help of the temperature and moisture sensor, the soil moisture sensor and the light sensor, it’s able to detect the status of the plants and have the data displayed on the OLED dispay, also, the LED would light on for reminding us of watering the plants.

Maybe many people have heard of arduino more than micro:bit, and even have used Arduino. Before the coming out of micro:bit, Arduino was hailed as the most suitable circuit board for maker education, because we can see that many manufacturers of maker products used Arduino UNO's 328P ...

This week we are going to build a sky wheel with micro:bit and the Lego bricks, though it is in a simple structure, it requires a very fundamental knowledge of physics. Now let’s follow the steps below to build your sky wheel.
