For example, we could make it so our BBC Micro:bit tells us to press the A button. Remove the `button pressed` and `show string` blocks from the `if` block and right click it and select **Delete**.

The BBC micro:bit checks if the user is pressing the left button, if the user is not then the “Press the button!” message will scroll across the LEDs. If the user is pressing the button then the “hello, world!” message will scroll across the screen. Check this in the simulator or attach the BBC micro:bit to the computer then click **Download** to send the code onto the BBC micro:bit.

Additionally, the graphs will reflect 0 acceleation for the 1st micro:bit.
