# Chapter 1 
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Here are the code examples from Chapter 1 
 | 
			
		||||
of [Foundations of Computing and Programming: exploring the micro:bit](../fcp).
 | 
			
		||||
You can switch between the Blocks and JavaScript versions of each example,
 | 
			
		||||
as well as run the example in the web browser, and retrieve a file to
 | 
			
		||||
install on a micro:bit.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
## Figure 1.11
 | 
			
		||||
LED Screen with code:
 | 
			
		||||
```blocks
 | 
			
		||||
basic.showIcon(IconNames.Square)
 | 
			
		||||
led.plot(2, 2)
 | 
			
		||||
```
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
## Figure 1.12
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Take action on button A/B pressed.
 | 
			
		||||
```blocks
 | 
			
		||||
input.onButtonPressed(Button.A, () => {
 | 
			
		||||
    basic.showIcon(IconNames.Square)
 | 
			
		||||
})
 | 
			
		||||
input.onButtonPressed(Button.B, () => {
 | 
			
		||||
    led.plot(2, 2)
 | 
			
		||||
})
 | 
			
		||||
```
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
## Figure 1.13
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Take action on button A/B pressed, as
 | 
			
		||||
well as shaking the micro:bit.
 | 
			
		||||
```blocks
 | 
			
		||||
input.onButtonPressed(Button.A, () => {
 | 
			
		||||
    basic.showIcon(IconNames.Square)
 | 
			
		||||
})
 | 
			
		||||
input.onButtonPressed(Button.B, () => {
 | 
			
		||||
    led.plot(2, 2)
 | 
			
		||||
})
 | 
			
		||||
input.onGesture(Gesture.Shake, () => {
 | 
			
		||||
    basic.clearScreen()
 | 
			
		||||
}) 
 | 
			
		||||
```
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
## Figure 1.15
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Program to send signals over pin P0.
 | 
			
		||||
```blocks
 | 
			
		||||
basic.forever(() => {
 | 
			
		||||
    pins.digitalWritePin(DigitalPin.P0, 1)
 | 
			
		||||
    basic.pause(1000)
 | 
			
		||||
    pins.servoWritePin(AnalogPin.P0, 180)
 | 
			
		||||
    basic.pause(1000)
 | 
			
		||||
})
 | 
			
		||||
```
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
## Figure 1.17
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Communicating using radio.
 | 
			
		||||
```blocks
 | 
			
		||||
input.onButtonPressed(Button.A, () => {
 | 
			
		||||
    radio.sendString("A")
 | 
			
		||||
})
 | 
			
		||||
input.onButtonPressed(Button.B, () => {
 | 
			
		||||
    radio.sendString("B")
 | 
			
		||||
})
 | 
			
		||||
radio.onDataPacketReceived(({receivedString}) => {
 | 
			
		||||
    basic.showString(receivedString)
 | 
			
		||||
})
 | 
			
		||||
```
