# micro:bit target for PXT
|
||||
|
||||
This target allow to program a [BBC micro:bit](https://www.microbit.co.uk/) using
|
||||
[Microsoft Programming Experience Toolkit](https://github.com/Microsoft/pxt).
|
||||
PXT ([Microsoft Programming Experience Toolkit](https://github.com/Microsoft/pxt)).
|
||||
|
||||
* [Try it live](https://m.pxt.io)
|
||||
|
||||
[](https://travis-ci.org/Microsoft/pxt-microbit)
|
||||
|
||||
# Getting started
|
||||
## Local server
|
||||
|
||||
Please follow instructions at https://github.com/Microsoft/pxt#running-a-target-from-localhost
|
||||
### Setup
|
||||
|
||||
The following commands are a 1-time setup after synching the repo on your machine.
|
||||
|
||||
* install the PXT command line
|
||||

```
|
||||
|
||||
### Running
|
||||
|
||||
Run this command to open a local web server (add ``sudo`` for Mac/Linux shells)
|
||||
```
|
||||
pxt serve
|
||||
```
|
||||
If the local server opens in the wrong browser, make sure to copy the URL containing the local token.
|
||||
Otherwise, the editor will not be able to load the projects.
|
||||
|
||||
If you need modify the `.cpp` files, turn on yotta compilation with the ``-yt`` flag (add ``sudo`` for Mac/Linux shells):
|
||||
```
|
||||
pxt serve -yt
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
To make sure you're running the latest tools, run (add ``sudo`` for Mac/Linux shells)
|
||||
```

# About
|
||||
|
||||
The [BBC micro:bit](https://www.microbit.co.uk) is a [pocket-size computer](/device) with a 5x5 display of 25 LEDs, Bluetooth and sensors that can be programmed by anyone.
|
||||
The BBC micro:bit was made possible by many [partners](https://www.microbit.co.uk/partners).
|
||||
|
||||
The micro:bit provides a fun introduction to programming and making – switch on, program it to do something fun – wear it, customize it.
|
||||
Just like Arduino, the micro:bit can be connected to and interact with sensors, displays, and other devices.
|
||||
|
||||
## Blocks or JavaScript
|
||||
|
||||
The student can program the BBC micro:bit using [visual blocks](http://www.github.com/Google/blockly) or JavaScript.
|
||||
|
||||
```blocks
|
||||
basic.showString("BBC micro:bit!");
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Compile and Flash
|
||||
|
||||
When a user has her code ready, she can connect her BBC micro:bit to a computer via a USB cable, so it appears as a mounted drive.
|
||||
|
||||
Compilation to the ARM thumb machine code happens in the browser.
|
||||
|
||||
The student is prompted to save the ARM binary program to a file, which she then simply drags to the micro:bit mounted drive,
|
||||
which flashes the micro:bit device with the new program.
|
||||
|
||||
## Simulator: Test Your Code
|
||||
Before a student compiles her code for the micro:bit, she can run it using the micro:bit simulator, all within the confines of a web browser.
|
||||
The simulator has support for the LED screen, buttons, as well as compass, accelerometer, and digital I/O pins.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
The [C++ BBC micro:bit runtime](http://lancaster-university.github.io/microbit-docs/), created at [Lancaster University](http://www.lancaster.ac.uk/), provides access to the hardware functions of the micro:bit,
|
||||
as well as a set of helper functions (such as displaying a number/image/string on the LED screen).
|
||||
|
||||
The JavaScript micro:bit library mirrors the functions of the C++ library.
|
||||
When code is compiled to ARM machine code, the calls to JavaScript micro:bit functions are replaced with calls to the corresponding C++ functions.
|

### Buttons
|
||||
|
||||
### What are the buttons for?
|
||||
Buttons A and B are a form of input. When you press a button, it completes an electrical circuit.
|
||||
The micro:bit can detect either of its two buttons being pressed/released and be programmed
|
||||
to act on these events.
|
||||
|
||||
Buttons A and B are a form of input. They detect when the button is being pressed. When you press one of the buttons, it completes an electrical circuit. The micro:bit can detect either of its two buttons being pressed and un-pressed and be programmed to act on that or send the information to another device.
|
||||
Button R on the back of the micro:bit is a system button. It has different uses.
|
||||
When you have downloaded and run your code onto your micro:bit, press Button R to restart and run your program from the beginning.

||||
### USB connection
|
||||
|
||||
When you plug in your micro:bit, it should appear as MICROBIT. If you accidentally hold down the reset button as you’re plugging in your micro:bit, the micro:bit will appear as a MAINTENANCE drive instead of MICROBIT. This is known as maintenance mode.**

the micro:bit will appear as a MAINTENANCE drive instead of MICROBIT. This is known as maintenance mode.**
|
||||
|
||||
To continue programming your micro:bit YOU MUST unplug your USB and reconnect it. Check that the drive now shows as MICROBIT.
|
||||
|
||||
**Use with caution. If you click on the drive while it shows as MAINTENANCE, you can see which version of firmware you have running on your micro:bit. Firmware on your micro:bit should be up-to-date already. You can find the version of firmware in the 'version.txt' file on the micro:bit. Further information on the firmware can be found here:

### Compass
|
||||
|
||||
### Why is there a compass on the micro:bit?
|
||||
|
||||
The compass can detect magnetic fields such as the Earth’s magnetic field. As the micro:bit has this compass, it is possible to detect the direction it is moving in. The micro:bit can detect where it is facing and movement in degrees. This data can be used by the micro:bit in a program or be sent to another device.

### Accelerometer
|
||||
|
||||
### Why is there an accelerometer on the micro:bit?
|
||||
There is an accelerometer on your micro:bit which detects changes in the micro:bit’s speed.
|
||||
It converts analogue information into digital form that can be used in micro:bit programs.
|
||||
Output is in milli-g. The device will also detect a small number of standard actions e.g. shake, tilt and free-fall.

What sort of a *computing system* is the micro:bit?
|

|
||||
|
||||
We want reactive systems to be responsive, which means to react in a timely manner to events. For example, when you play a computer game, it’s frustrating if you press a button to make a character jump, but it doesn’t immediately jump. A delay in reacting, or lack of responsiveness , can be the difference between life and death, both in the real and virtual worlds.
|
||||
|
||||
Let’s consider a simple example: you want to program your micro:bit to accurately count the number of times the A button has been pressed and continuously display the current count on the 5x5 [LED screen](/microbit/device/screen). Because the LED screen is small, we can only display one digit of a number at a time on it. The [show number](/microbit/reference/basic/show-number) function will scroll the digits of a number across the screen so you can read it.

Let’s say that the current count is 42 and the number 42 is scrolling across the LED screen. This means there is some code executing to perform the scroll. So, what should happen if you press the A button during the scroll? It would be a bad idea to ignore the button press, so some code should record the occurrence of the button press. But we just said there already is code running in order to scroll the number 42! If we wait until the code scrolling the 42 has finished to look for a button press, we will miss the button press. We want to avoid this sort of unresponsiveness.

The micro:bit LED screen consists of 25 red LED lights arranged in a 5X5 grid (5 LEDs across by 5 LEDs down).
|
||||
In the screen above, we created a checkerboard pattern using the LEDs.
|
||||
|
||||
### Which LED?
|
||||
|
||||
You use ``x , y`` coordinates to specify a particular LED in the grid; where ``x`` is the horizontal position and ``y`` is the vertical position (0, 1, 2, 3, 4). To figure out the ``x``, ``y`` coordinates, position your micro:bit horizontally, like a credit card (see picture above).

||||
|
||||
To figure out the ``x``, ``y`` coordinates, position your micro:bit horizontally, like a credit card (see picture above).
|
||||
|
||||
Here are the x, y coordinates for the LEDs in the 5X5 grid:
|
||||
|
||||
`0, 0` `1, 0` `2, 0` `3, 0` `4, 0`
|
||||
`(0,0)` `(1,0)` `(2,0)` `(3,0)` `(4,0)`
|
||||
|
||||
`0, 1` `1, 1` `2, 1` `3, 1` `4, 1`
|
||||
`(0,1)` `(1,1)` `(2,1)` `(3,1)` `(4,1)`

||||
|
||||

||||
|
||||
Which LEDs are turned on in the checkboard pattern above?
|
||||
|
||||
### Row, column - 1
|
||||
|
||||
Since the row and column numbers start at 0, an easy way to figure out the x, y coordinates is to subtract 1 from the row and column number (when counting from 1). In other words, to specify the LED in the 4th column 5th row, subtract 1 from each number to get coordinates `3, 4`.

|
||||
|
||||
### Turn a LED on/off

||||
|
||||
Use [plot](/microbit/led/plot) and [unplot](/microbit/led/unplot) to turn a LED on or off
|
||||
Use [plot](/reference/led/plot) and [unplot](/reference/led/unplot) to turn a LED on or off
|
||||
|
||||
```blocks
|
||||
led.plot(0,0);

|
||||
led.unplot(0,0);
|
||||
basic.pause(1000);
|
||||
led.unplot(1,1);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Is a LED on/off?
|
||||
|
||||
Use the [point](/microbit/led/point) function to find out if a LED is on or off.
|
||||
Use the [point](/reference/led/point) function to find out if a LED is on or off.
|
||||
|

|

if(led.point(0,0)) {
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Display images, strings and numbers
|
||||
|
||||
Instead of turning individual LEDs on or off, as above, you can display an [image](/microbit/reference/image/image) directly to the screen or show text/numbers on screen using the [show number](/microbit/reference/basic/show-number)/[show string](/microbit/reference/basic/show-string) function.

|
||||
|
||||
### The display buffer
|
||||
|
||||
The micro:bit runtime keeps an in-memory representation of the state of all 25 LEDS. This state is known as the "display buffer" and controls which LEDS are on and which are off. The plot/unplot/point functions access the display buffer directly. On the other hand, the functions that show an image, number or string overwrite the buffer completely. To illustrate, first try running this code sequence
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
basic.showString("d", 150)
|
||||
```blocks
|
||||
basic.showString("d")
|
||||
led.plot(0, 0)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
You will see the letter "d" displayed as well as the LED in position `0,0` lit up. Now try reversing the order of the two statements above:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
```blocks
|
||||
led.plot(0, 0)
|
||||
basic.showString("d", 150)
|
||||
```

# Serial
|
||||
|
||||
The [serial](/reference/serial) supports [serial communication](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_port) between the BBC micro:bit and another computer. Basically, this allows you to send data from the micro:bit to your own computer. This is very useful for debugging purposes: you can add `write line` statements in your code and see them display on your computer as the program executes.
|
||||
|
||||
The code below shows a simple script that sends a line when the BBC micro:bit starts and another line each time the button ``A`` is pressed.
|
||||
|
||||
```blocks
|
||||
serial.writeLine("started...")
|
||||
input.onButtonPressed(Button.A, () => {
|
||||
serial.writeLine("A pressed")
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Data is also automatically streamed to serial by the ** bar graph** block
|
||||
and picked up by the editor. This data can be streamed to the cloud as well.
|
||||
|
||||
```blocks
|
||||
basic.forever(() => {
|
||||
led.plotBarGraph(input.acceleration(Dimension.X), 0);
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## How to read the micro:bit's serial output from your computer
|
||||
|
||||
Unfortunately, using the serial library requires quite a bit of a setup.
|
||||
|
||||
### BBC micro:bit Chrome Extension
|
||||
|
||||
If you are using the Google Chrome browser, you can use our extension to get serial data streaming in the editor.
|
||||
|
||||
* Install the [Extension for BBC micro:bit](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/extension-for-bbc-microbi/cihhkhnngbjlhahcfmhekmbnnjcjdbge?hl=en-US) on the Chrome Web Store.
|
||||
* Restart Chrome and open the web editor.
|
||||
|
||||
### Windows
|
||||
|
||||
You must install a device driver (for the computer to recognize the serial interface of the micro:bit); then, you must also install a terminal emulator (which is going to connect to the micro:bit and read its output). Here's how to do it:
|
||||
|
||||
* Follow instructions at https://developer.mbed.org/handbook/Windows-serial-configuration in order to install the device driver
|
||||
|
||||
#### Windows > Tera Term
|
||||
|
||||
* Install the terminal emulator [Tera Term](https://ttssh2.osdn.jp/index.html.en). At the time of this writing, the latest version is 4.88 and can be downloaded [from here](http://en.osdn.jp/frs/redir.php?m=jaist&f=%2Fttssh2%2F63767%2Fteraterm-4.88.exe). Follow the instructions from the installer.

Once both the driver and the terminal emulator are installed, plug in the micro:bit and wait until the device is fully setup. Then, open TeraTerm.
|
||||
|
||||
* Hit `File` > `New Connection`
|
||||
* Check "Serial"; in the dropdown menu, pick the COM port that says "mbed Serial Port". Hit `Ok`.
|
||||
* In the menus, hit `Setup` > `Serial Port` and set the baud rate to `115200`.
|
||||
|
||||
You should be good. Feel free to hit `Setup` > `Save Setup` in the menus to erase the default configuration file with a new one so that you don't have to type in the settings again.
|
||||
|
||||
Please note that Windows will assign you a different COM port if you plug in another micro:bit. If you're juggling between micro:bits, you'll have to change the COM port every time.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Windows > Putty
|
||||
|
||||
If you prefer another terminal emulator (such as [PuTTY](http://www.putty.org/)), here are some instructions.
|
||||
|
||||
* Open Windows's [Device Manager](https://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/open-device-manager); expand the section called "Ports (COM & LPT)"; write down the com number for "mbed Serial Port" (e.g. COM14)
|
||||
* Open PuTTY; on the main screen, use the following settings: Serial / COM14 / 115200. Replace COM14 with the COM port number you wrote down previously. Feel free to type in a name and hit "Save" to remember this configuration.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
* (optional): in the "Terminal" section, check "implicit cr in every lf"
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### Linux
|
||||
|
||||
(Untested).
|
||||
|
||||
* Plug in the micro:bit
|
||||
* Open a terminal
|
||||
* `dmesg | tail` will show you which `/dev/` node the micro:bit was assigned (e.g. `/dev/ttyUSB0`)
|
||||
* Then, do: `screen /dev/ttyUSB0 115200` (install the `screen` program if you don't have it). To exit, run `Ctrl-A` `Ctrl-D`.
|
||||
|
||||
Alternative programs include minicom, etc.
|
||||
|
||||
### Mac OS
|
||||
|
||||
* Plug in the micro:bit
|
||||
* Open a terminal
|
||||
* `ls /dev/cu.*` will return to you a list of serial devices; one of them will look like `/dev/cu.usbmodem1422` (the exact number depends on your computer)
|
||||
* `screen /dev/cu.usbmodem1422 115200` will open up the micro:bit's serial output. To exit, hit `Ctrl-A` `Ctrl-D`.

## ~avatar
|
||||
|
||||
Are you ready to build cool BBC micro:bit programs?
|
||||
|
||||
Here are some challenges for you. Unscramble the blocks in the editor
|
||||
to make real programs that work!
|
||||
|
||||
## ~
|
||||
|
||||
### Happy face
|
||||
|
||||
There are three blocks in the editor (the area to the left).
|
||||
They should look like this:
|
||||
|
||||
```blocks
|
||||
basic.forever(() => {
|
||||
basic.showLeds(`
|
||||
. . . . .
|
||||
. # . # .
|
||||
. . . . .
|
||||
# . . . #
|
||||
. # # # .
|
||||
`)
|
||||
basic.showLeds(`
|
||||
. . . . .
|
||||
. . . . .
|
||||
. . . . .
|
||||
. . . . .
|
||||
. . . . .
|
||||
`)
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
When you run this program, you will see a smiley face, then a blank
|
||||
screen, then a smiley again -- it never stops! (That's because of the
|
||||
``forever`` block.)
|
||||
|
||||
Click **Compile** to move your program to the BBC micro:bit!
|
||||
|
||||
### Happy unhappy face
|
||||
|
||||
Draw an unhappy face instead of the blank screen. Click on the dots
|
||||
in the second ``show leds`` block until it matches the blocks below.
|
||||
Now you have an **animation** (cartoon) that shows a happy face,
|
||||
then an unhappy one, then a happy one again, forever (or until
|
||||
you turn off your micro:bit)!
|
||||
|
||||
```blocks
|
||||
basic.forever(() => {
|
||||
basic.showLeds(`
|
||||
. . . . .
|
||||
. # . # .
|
||||
. . . . .
|
||||
# . . . #
|
||||
. # # # .
|
||||
`)
|
||||
basic.showLeds(`
|
||||
. . . . .
|
||||
. # . # .
|
||||
. . . . .
|
||||
. # # # .
|
||||
# . . . #
|
||||
`)
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
Click **Compile** to move your program to the BBC micro:bit!
|
||||
|
||||
### Your turn!
|
||||
|
||||
Pile up more ``show leds`` blocks to create your animation! Create an
|
||||
animation with at least 5 pictures. What does this animation show?

`)
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
Click **Compile** to move your program to the BBC micro:bit!
|
||||
|
||||
#### ~hint
|
||||
|
||||
You can find the ``show leds`` block in the **Basic** part of the editor.
|
||||
|
||||
#### ~
|
||||
|
||||
### Button A and button B
|
||||
|
||||
This program will show the word **ANTEATER** on the LED
|
||||
screen when you press button `A`.
|
||||
|
||||
```blocks
|
||||
input.onButtonPressed(Button.A, () => {
|
||||
basic.showString("ANTEATER");
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### ~hint
|
||||
|
||||
The ``showString`` block can show letters, numbers, and punctuation
|
||||
on the micro:bit screen.
|
||||
|
||||
#### ~
|
||||
|
||||
Now try to unscramble these blocks in the editor so that the micro:bit
|
||||
shows **BANANA** when you press button `B`.
|
||||
|
||||
```shuffle
|
||||
input.onButtonPressed(Button.B, () => {
|
||||
basic.showString("BANANA");
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
#### ~hint
|
||||
|
||||
You can find the letter `B` by clicking the letter `A` on the
|
||||
``onButtonPressed`` block.
|
||||
|
||||
#### ~
|
||||
|
||||
Click **Compile** to move your program to the BBC micro:bit!
|
||||
|
||||
#### Your turn!
|
||||
|
||||
Can you combine these blocks so your program shows your real name
|
||||
instead of **ANTEATER** when you press `A`, but _your secret agent
|
||||
name_ instead of **BANANA** when you press `B`?
|
||||
|
||||
### Shake
|
||||
|
||||
You can find when someone is shaking the BBC micro:bit by checking its
|
||||
**accelerometer** (it finds whether the micro:bit is speeding up or
|
||||
slowing down).
|
||||
|
||||
Unscramble these blocks in the editor to show a frownie when someone
|
||||
shakes the micro:bit. (Ouch!)
|
||||
|
||||
```shuffle
|
||||
input.onGesture(Gesture.Shake, () => {
|
||||
basic.showLeds(`
|
||||
. . . . .
|
||||
. # . # .
|
||||
. . . . .
|
||||
. # # # .
|
||||
# . . . #`);
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
Click **Compile** to move your program to the BBC micro:bit!
|
||||
|
||||
### Pins
|
||||
|
||||
You can also use the pins as buttons. (The pins are the holes in the
|
||||
metal stripe at the bottom of the micro:bit board.) For example, hold
|
||||
the ``GND`` button with one hand and touch the ``0`` pin (called
|
||||
``P0``) with your other hand to tell the micro:bit you're pressing it.
|
||||
|
||||
Unscramble the blocks in the editor to show a heart when you touch
|
||||
pin ``P0``.
|
||||
|
||||
```shuffle
|
||||
input.onPinPressed(TouchPin.P0, () => {
|
||||
basic.showLeds(`
|
||||
. # . # .
|
||||
# . # . #
|
||||
# . . . #
|
||||
. # . # .
|
||||
. . # . .`);
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
Click **Compile** to move your program to the BBC micro:bit!
|
||||
|
||||
## ~hint
|
||||
|
||||
Try this experiment: find a friend and hold hands. Touch the ``GND``
|
||||
pin while your friend presses the ``P0`` pin. You should see the
|
||||
heart! The electric current is going through your bodies and across
|
||||
your handshake to make it happen!

Are you trying to choose whether to play soccer or go to the movies
|
||||
instead, or which toppings to have on your pizza? Build a coin
|
||||
flipping machine with the BBC micro:bit to choose for you!
|
||||
|
||||
### ~
|
||||
|
||||
Here are the blocks to make your coin flipper. When you press button
|
||||
`B`, the coin flipper will show either `H` for heads or `T` for tails
|
||||
on the LED screen.
|
||||
|
||||
```blocks
|
||||
input.onButtonPressed(Button.B, () => {
|
||||
if (Math.randomBoolean()) {
|
||||
basic.showString("H");
|
||||
} else {
|
||||
basic.showString("T");
|
||||
}
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
### ~hint
|
||||
|
||||
The ``pick random true or false`` block randomly tells the ``if``
|
||||
block `true` or `false`. If the ``pick`` block picked `true`, the
|
||||
``if`` block shows the letter `H`. Otherwise, it shows the letter `T`.
|
||||
|
||||
That's it!

### Keeping score
|
||||
|
||||
#### ~avatar
|
||||
|
||||
To keep track out of how many guesses you've won,
|
||||
add these blocks to your coin flipper:
|
||||
|
||||
#### ~
|
||||
|
||||
```blocks
|
||||
input.onButtonPressed(Button.A, () => {
|
||||
game.addScore(1);
|
||||
});
|
||||
input.onButtonPressed(Button.AB, () => {
|
||||
basic.showNumber(game.score());
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
These blocks mean that if you press button `A`, you will add `1` to
|
||||
your score, and if you press `A` and `B` together, the micro:bit will
|
||||
show your score.
|
||||
|
||||
When you're done, your coin flipping program should look like this:
|
||||
|
||||
```blocks
|
||||
input.onButtonPressed(Button.B, () => {
|
||||
if (Math.randomBoolean()) {
|
||||
basic.showString("H");
|
||||
} else {
|
||||
basic.showString("T");
|
||||
}
|
||||
});
|
||||
input.onButtonPressed(Button.A, () => {
|
||||
game.addScore(1);
|
||||
});
|
||||
input.onButtonPressed(Button.AB, () => {
|
||||
basic.showNumber(game.score());
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Flip until your thumbs get tired!
|
||||
|
||||
## Let's play Rock Paper Scissors!
|
||||
|
||||
### ~avatar avatar
|
||||
|
||||
Build a Rock Paper Scissors game with the BBC micro:bit! You can play
|
||||
the game with a friend who has it on a micro:bit. You can also play
|
||||
it with friends who are just using their hands. (The game is built
|
||||
like a coin flipper, but with three choices instead of two.)
|
||||
|
||||
### ~
|
||||
|
||||
## Step 1: Getting started
|
||||
|
||||
We want the micro:bit to choose rock, paper, or scissors when you
|
||||
shake it. Try creating an ``on shake`` block so when you shake the
|
||||
micro:bit, it will run part of a program.
|
||||
|
||||
Clear up the blocks and add the blocks below.
|
||||
|
||||
```blocks
|
||||
input.onGesture(Gesture.Shake, () => {
|
||||
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Next, when you shake the micro:bit, it should pick a random number from `0` to `2`
|
||||
and store it in the variable `item`.
|
||||
|
||||
Add a ``set`` block with a variable. Then add a ``pick random`` block,
|
||||
and store the random number in the variable,
|
||||
like this:
|
||||
|
||||
```blocks
|
||||
input.onGesture(Gesture.Shake, () => {
|
||||
let item = Math.random(3)
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### ~hint
|
||||
No one can predict random numbers. That's what makes them great for Rock Paper Scissors!
|
||||
### ~
|
||||
|
||||
Each possible number these blocks can make (`0`, `1`, or `2`) means a different picture.
|
||||
We will show the right picture for that number on the LED screen.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Step 2: Picking paper
|
||||
|
||||
Put an ``if`` block after the ``let`` block that checks whether
|
||||
`item` is `0`. Make sure the ``if`` block has an ``else if`` part
|
||||
and an ``else`` part.
|
||||
|
||||
Next, add a ``show leds`` block that shows a
|
||||
picture of a piece of paper:
|
||||
|
||||
```blocks
|
||||
input.onGesture(Gesture.Shake, () => {
|
||||
let item = Math.random(3)
|
||||
if (item == 0) {
|
||||
basic.showLeds(`
|
||||
# # # # #
|
||||
# . . . #
|
||||
# . . . #
|
||||
# . . . #
|
||||
# # # # #
|
||||
`)
|
||||
} else if (false) {
|
||||
|
||||
} else {
|
||||
|
||||
}
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Step 3: A random rock
|
||||
|
||||
Now we are going to add a new picture for the micro:bit to show
|
||||
when another random number comes up.
|
||||
|
||||
Make the ``else if`` part check if the variable `item` is `1`.
|
||||
Then add a ``show leds`` block with a picture of a rock.
|
||||
|
||||
```blocks
|
||||
input.onGesture(Gesture.Shake, () => {
|
||||
let item = Math.random(3)
|
||||
if (item == 0) {
|
||||
basic.showLeds(`
|
||||
# # # # #
|

`)
|
||||
} else if (item == 1) {
|
||||
basic.showLeds(`
|
||||
. . . . .
|
||||
. # # # .
|
||||
. # # # .
|

|
||||
} else {
|
||||
|
||||
}
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Step 4: Suddenly scissors
|
||||
|
||||
Add a ``show leds`` block with a picture of scissors to the ``else`` part:
|
||||
|
||||
```blocks
|
||||
input.onGesture(Gesture.Shake, () => {
|
||||
let item = Math.random(3)
|
||||
if (item == 0) {
|
||||
basic.showLeds(`
|
||||
# # # # #
|
||||
# . . . #
|
||||
# . . . #
|
||||
# . . . #
|
||||
# # # # #
|
||||
`)
|
||||
|
||||
} else if (item == 1) {
|
||||
basic.showLeds(`
|
||||
. . . . .
|
||||
. # # # .
|
||||
. # # # .
|
||||
. # # # .
|
||||
. . . . .
|
||||
`)
|
||||
} else {
|
||||
basic.showLeds(`
|
||||
# # . . #
|
||||
# # . # .
|
||||
. . # . .
|
||||
# # . # .
|
||||
# # . . #
|
||||
`)
|
||||
}
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### ~hint
|
||||
|
||||
You don't need to check if `item` is `2` because `2` is the only number left out of `0`, `1`, and `2`.
|
||||
That's why you can use an ``else`` instead of an ``else if``.
|
||||
|
||||
### ~
|
||||
|
||||
Your game is ready!
|
||||
|
||||
Click **Compile** to move your program to the BBC micro:bit!
|
||||
|
||||
Have fun!
|
||||
|
||||
## Step 5: Are you the greatest?
|
||||
|
||||
Here is a way you can make your Rock Paper Scissors game better.
|
||||
When button ``A`` is pressed,
|
||||
the micro:bit will add `1` to your score.
|
||||
|
||||
Open the ``Game`` drawer, and then add the block ``change score by 1`` to your program,
|
||||
like this:
|
||||
|
||||
```blocks
|
||||
input.onButtonPressed(Button.A, () => {
|
||||
game.addScore(1)
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Step 6: Prove you're the greatest!
|
||||
|
||||
After your micro:bit can add `1` to the score, show how many wins you have.
|
||||
|
||||
```blocks
|
||||
input.onButtonPressed(Button.A, () => {
|
||||
game.addScore(1)
|
||||
basic.showString("WINS:")
|
||||
basic.showNumber(game.score())
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
## Step 7: Staying honest
|
||||
|
||||
Success! Your micro:bit can track wins!
|
||||
But what about losses?
|
||||
Use the ``Game`` drawer to subtract `1` from your score when you press button `B`.
|
||||
|
||||
Here are all the blocks you will need:
|
||||
|
||||
```shuffle
|
||||
input.onButtonPressed(Button.B, () => {
|
||||
game.addScore(-1)
|
||||
basic.showString("LOSSES:")
|
||||
basic.showNumber(game.score())
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
Click **Compile** to move your program to the BBC micro:bit!
|
||||
|
||||
## Your turn!
|
||||
|
||||
How else can you make your game better?

# charting activity
|
||||
|
||||
Measure the acceleration on the micro:bit in the "z" direction.
|
||||
|
||||
### ~avatar avatar
|
||||
|
||||
To create a new script, go to the [Create Code](/microbit/create-code) page and tap `New Project` under `Block Editor`.
|
||||
|
||||
### ~
|
||||
|
||||
Welcome! This activity will teach how to use the 1st micro:bit to chart the second micro:bit's acceleration in the "x" direction. Let's get started!
|
||||
|
||||
Let's measure `acceleration (mg)` and then `send number`. `Acceleration` is measured in **milli-gravities**, so a value of -1000 is equivalent to -1g or -9.81m/s^2. We will be able to get the acceleration value (g-force), in the specified "x" dimension. `Send number` will broadcast a number data packet to other micro:bits connected via radio.
|
||||
|
||||
```blocks
|
||||
radio.sendNumber(input.acceleration(Dimension.X));
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
We want to display the acceleration forever. In order to do so, we need a `forever` loop. A forever loop will repeat code in the background forever.
|
||||
|
||||
```blocks
|
||||
basic.forever(() => {
|
||||
radio.sendNumber(input.acceleration(Dimension.X));
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
We want to register code to run when a packet is received over radio. We can implement this code by adding `on data received`.
|
||||
|
||||
```blocks
|
||||
basic.forever(() => {
|
||||
radio.sendNumber(input.acceleration(Dimension.X))
|
||||
})
|
||||
radio.onDataReceived(() => {
|
||||
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Finally, we want to chart the acceleration. So we must first implement `plot bar graph`. `Plot Bar Graph` will display a vertical bar graph based on the value and high value. In order to transfer the receive the number from the 1st micro:bit, we must implement `receive number` to constantly display a vertical bar graph based on the value. Remember, the value will equal to the micro:bit's acceleration in the "x" direction.
|
||||
|
||||
```blocks
|
||||
basic.forever(() => {
|
||||
radio.sendNumber(input.acceleration(Dimension.X))
|
||||
})
|
||||
radio.onDataReceived(() => {
|
||||
led.plotBarGraph(radio.receiveNumber(), 1023)
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
* Connect the first micro:bit to your computer using your USB cable and run the charting script on it.
|
||||
* Connect the second micro:bit to your computer using your USB cable and run the charting script on it.
|
||||
* The first person and second person take turns tilting the micro:bit in the "x" direction while the other player charts the data on the micro:bit!

||||
|
||||
## Steps
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 1
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Using the 1st crocodile clip, connect the end of the crocodile clip onto GND pin on the micro:bit.
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 2
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Using the 1st crocodile clip, connect the unattached end of the crocodile clip onto the 0 pin on the micro:bit.
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 3
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Disconnect the end of the crocodile clip from the 0 pin of the micro:bit.
|
||||
|
||||
Your circuit is complete!
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 10
|
||||
|
||||
Connect your micro:bit to your computer using your USB cable and run the [guess the number](/microbit/lhpkbr) script on it.

# rock paper scissors activity
|
||||
|
||||
A classic game against the micro:bit.
|
||||
|
||||
### ~avatar avatar

### @video td/videos/rock-paper-scissors-0
|
||||
|
||||
Welcome! This tutorial will help you create a game of rock paper scissors with the micro:bit. Let's get started!
|
||||
|
||||
### ~
|
||||
|
||||
To create a new script, go to the [Create Code](/microbit/create-code) page and tap *New Project* under **Touch Develop**.
|
||||
|
||||
We want the micro:bit to choose rock, paper, or scissors when it is shaken. Let's begin by creating an on shake condition so the micro:bit will run code when it is shaken.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
```blocks
|
||||
|
||||
input.onGesture(Gesture.Shake, () => {
|
||||
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Next, create a variable and store pick random number from 0 to 2. On shake, a number will be randomly picked from 0-2. We will randomly display an image based on the random number returned.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
```blocks
|
||||
input.onGesture(Gesture.Shake, () => {
|
||||
let img = Math.random(3)
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The micro:bit will look like it's showing 1 frame of the image by displaying the whole image when pick random is equal to 2. We can help the micro:bit randomly decide which image to use by pick random. The micro:bit will randomly pick the image to display with show LEDs and the pick random function.
|
||||
|
||||
```blocks
|
||||
input.onGesture(Gesture.Shake, () => {
|
||||
let img = Math.random(3)
|
||||
if (img == 2) {
|
||||
basic.showLeds(`
|
||||
# # # # #
|
||||
# . . . #
|
||||
# . . . #
|
||||
# . . . #
|
||||
# # # # #
|
||||
`)
|
||||
|
||||
}
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The micro:bit will look like it's showing 1 frame of the image by displaying the whole image when pick random is equal to 1. We can help the micro:bit randomly decide which image to use by pick random. The micro:bit will randomly pick the image to display with show LEDs and the pick random function.
|
||||
|
||||
```blocks
|
||||
input.onGesture(Gesture.Shake, () => {
|
||||
let img = Math.random(3)
|
||||
if (img == 2) {
|
||||
basic.showLeds(`
|
||||
# # # # #
|
||||
# . . . #
|
||||
# . . . #
|
||||
# . . . #
|
||||
# # # # #
|
||||
`)
|
||||
|
||||
} else if (img == 1) {
|
||||
basic.showLeds(`
|
||||
. . . . .
|
||||
. # # # .
|
||||
. # # # .
|
||||
. # # # .
|
||||
. . . . .
|
||||
`)
|
||||
}
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The micro:bit will look like it's showing 1 frame of the image by displaying the whole image when pick random is not equal to 2 and not equal to 1. We can help the micro:bit randomly decide which image to use by pick random. The micro:bit will randomly pick the image to display with show LEDs and the pick random function.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
```blocks
|
||||
input.onGesture(Gesture.Shake, () => {
|
||||
let img = Math.random(3)
|
||||
if (img == 2) {
|

# Extensions
|
||||
|
||||
You can publish libraries (also known as packages or extensions)
|
||||
that users can then add to their scripts. These typically
|
||||
provide a driver for a particular hardware device you can connect
|
||||
to a microbit.
|
||||
|
||||
* [Sample C++ extension](https://github.com/Microsoft/pxt-microbit-cppsample)
|
||||
* [Sample TypeScript extension](https://github.com/Microsoft/pxt-microbit/tree/master/libs/i2c-fram)
|
||||
|
||||
## Finding libraries
|
||||
|
||||
From the editor, the user clicks on **More** then **Add Package** and searches for the package.
|
||||
|
||||
To see the list of packages, click on **More** then **Show Files** to see the project file list.
|
||||
|
||||
To remove a package, click on the garbage button in the file list next to the package.
|
||||
|
||||
## Publishing libraries
|
||||
|
||||
Packages can be published from the pxt command line. We are still sorting out the details.
|
||||
|
||||
## Localizing libraries
|
||||
|
||||
It is possible to package localization strings for the **jsDoc** description associated to the API in the package.
|
||||
|
||||
When compiling a package, the PXT compiler generates a `strings.json` file under the `_locales/` folder.
|
||||
This file contains a map from the symbol name to the en

Have you ever tried to making beat box sounds? Let's try making a beatbox with code!
|

We will register an event handler on the fruit that will execute when two things occur: first, the alligator clip attaches to GND and the other side of the alligator clip is inserted into a banana. Let's start by adding a variable where you can store data. Then rename the variable to "sound". Then set the value of the variable to the note block `A` from the Music drawer. Modify your code so that your code looks like this.

# compass

|

||||
Display the direction that the micro:bit is facing using the compass
|
||||
|
||||
### ~avatar avatar
|
||||
|
||||
Welcome! This guided tutorial will show you how to program a script that displays the direction the micro:bit is pointing. Let's get started!
|
||||
|
||||
### ~
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Step 1
|
||||
|
||||
Create a loop that will continuously update the reading of the compass.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
```blocks
|
||||
basic.forever(() => {
|
||||
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Step 2
|
||||
|
||||
Store the reading of the micro:bit in a variable called `degrees`.
|
||||
|
||||
```blocks
|
||||
basic.forever(() => {
|
||||
let degrees = input.compassHeading()
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Step 3
|
||||
|
||||
If `degrees` is less than `45`, then the compass heading is mostly pointing toward North. Display `N` on the micro:bit.
|
||||
|
||||
```blocks
|
||||
basic.forever(() => {
|
||||
let degrees = input.compassHeading();
|
||||
if (degrees < 45) {
|
||||
basic.showString("N");
|
||||
}
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Step 4
|
||||
|
||||
If `degrees` is less than 135, the micro:bit is mostly pointing East. Display `E` on the micro:bit.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
```blocks
|
||||
basic.forever(() => {
|
||||
let degrees = input.compassHeading();
|
||||
if (degrees < 45) {
|
||||
basic.showString("N");
|
||||
}
|
||||
else if (degrees < 135) {
|
||||
basic.showString("E");
|
||||
}
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Step 5
|
||||
|
||||
If `degrees` is less than 225, the micro:bit is mostly pointing South. Display `S` on the micro:bit.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
```blocks
|
||||
basic.forever(() => {
|
||||
let degrees = input.compassHeading();
|
||||
if (degrees < 45) {
|
||||
basic.showString("N");
|
||||
}
|
||||
else if (degrees < 135) {
|
||||
basic.showString("E");
|
||||
}
|
||||
else if (degrees < 225) {
|
||||
basic.showString("S");
|
||||
}
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Step 6
|
||||
|
||||
If none of these conditions returned true, then the micro:bit must be pointing West. Display `W` on the micro:bit.
|
||||
|
||||
```blocks
|
||||
basic.forever(() => {
|
||||
let degrees = input.compassHeading();
|
||||
if (degrees < 45) {
|
||||
basic.showString("N");
|
||||
}
|
||||
else if (degrees < 135) {
|
||||
basic.showString("E");
|
||||
}
|
||||
else if (degrees < 225) {
|
||||
basic.showString("S");
|
||||
}
|
||||
else {
|
||||
basic.showString("W");
|
||||
}
|
||||
});
|
||||
```

## [START PROJECT](/#follow:/projects/flashing-heart)
|
||||
|
||||
### ~
|
||||
|
||||
## Step 1
|
||||
|
||||
Use [show leds](/reference/basic/showLeds) and make your code look like this:
|
||||
|
||||
```blocks
|
||||
basic.showLeds(`
|
||||
. # . # .

||||
# # # # #

||||
# # # # #

||||

|
||||
. . # . .`);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Step 2
|
||||
|
||||
Add a [pause](/reference/basic/pause) to wait and [clear screen](/reference/basic/clearScreen) to turn off the LEDs.
|
||||
|
||||
```blocks
|
||||
basic.showLeds(`
|
||||
. # . # .
|
||||
# # # # #

||||
# # # # #

||||
. # # # .
|
||||
. . # . .`);
|
||||
basic.pause(500);
|
||||
basic.clearScreen();
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Step 3
|
||||
|
||||
Put a [forever loop](/reference/basic/forever) around it.
|
||||
|
||||
```blocks
|
||||
basic.forever(() => {
|
||||
basic.showLeds(`
|
||||
. # . # .
|
||||
# # # # #

||||
# # # # #

||||

|
||||
. . # . .`);
|
||||
basic.pause(500);
|
||||
basic.clearScreen();
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Step 4
|
||||
|
||||
Add a [pause](/reference/basic/pause) to wait after clearing the screen.
|
||||
|
||||
```blocks
|
||||
basic.forever(() => {
|
||||
basic.showLeds(`

|
||||
basic.clearScreen();
|
||||
basic.pause(500);
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Step 5
|
||||
|
||||
Add a second image of a broken heart.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
```blocks

||||
basic.forever(() => {

To create a new script, go to the [Create Code](/microbit/create-code) page and tap *New Project* under *Block Editor*.
|
||||
|
||||
Let's start by adding a variable where you can store data. Then rename the variable to "light". Then set the value of the variable to the block `light level` from the Input drawer. This will gets the `light level` from 0 (dark) to 255 (bright). The light is measured by using various LEDs from the screen. Modify your code so that your code looks like this.

||||
|
||||
|
||||
```blocks

light = input.lightLevel();

let light = input.lightLevel();
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
We want to play music on button pressed in order to register an event handler that will execute whenever when you run a script and click on button pressed on the simulator. We must start by opening the Input drawer and adding `on button pressed` A. Then add a block `rest` to plays nothing for a `1/16` beat. Modify your code so that your code looks like this.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
```blocks
|
||||
|

let light = 0;
|

input.onButtonPressed(Button.A, () => {
|

music.rest(music.beat(BeatFraction.Sixteenth));

light = input.lightLevel();

let light = input.lightLevel();
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
We click on the Logic drawer then insert a `if do` that will conditionally run code depending on whether the Boolean condition is true or false. Then insert the variable `light` into the first part of the inequality. The variable "light" will appear in the Variables drawer. Finally, we insert 25. Modify your code so that your code looks like this. If the `light level` is `less than` 25, play `ring tone` `C`. If this conditions is not true, play `ring tone` `A`.

||||

Use pins P0, P1 and P2 to change the display by creating a circuit with your body.
|
||||
|
||||
## Step 1
|
||||
|
||||
Use [on pin pressed](/reference/input/on-pin-pressed) to show a random number
|
||||
when pin P0 is pressed (hold the GND pin with other hand):

||||
|
||||
```blocks

||||
input.onPinPressed(TouchPin.P0, () => {
|
||||
basic.showNumber(Math.random(11));
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
## Step 2
|
||||
|
||||
Show a string when pin P1 is pressed:
|
||||
|
||||
```blocks
|
||||
input.onPinPressed(TouchPin.P0, () => {
|
||||
basic.showNumber(Math.random(11));
|
||||
});
|
||||
input.onPinPressed(TouchPin.P1, () => {
|
||||
basic.showString("LOVE?");
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Step 3
|
||||
|
||||
Show a heart when pin P2 is pressed:
|
||||
|
||||
```blocks
|
||||
input.onPinPressed(TouchPin.P0, () => {

Welcome! The activity will teach you how to use the acceleration of the 1st micro:bit and to visualize the acceleration on the 2nd micro:bit.
|
||||
Let's get started!
|
||||
|
||||
### ~
|
||||
Let's measure `acceleration (mg)` and then `send number`. `Acceleration` is measured in **milli-gravities**, so a value of -1000 is equivalent to -1g or -9.81m/s^2. We will be able to get the acceleration value (g-force), in the specified "x" dimension. `Send number` will broadcast a number data packet to other micro:bits connected via radio.
|
||||
|
||||
```blocks
|
||||
radio.sendNumber(input.acceleration(Dimension.X));
|
||||
```
|
||||
### ~
|
||||
We want to display the acceleration forever. In order to do so, we need a `forever` loop. A forever loop will repeat code in the background forever.
|
||||
|
||||
```blocks
|
||||
basic.forever(() => {
|
||||
radio.sendNumber(input.acceleration(Dimension.X));
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
### ~
|
||||
We want to register code to run when a packet is received over radio. We can implement this code by adding `on data received`.
|
||||
|
||||
```blocks
|
||||
basic.forever(() => {
|
||||
radio.sendNumber(input.acceleration(Dimension.X))
|
||||
})
|
||||
radio.onDataReceived(() => {
|
||||
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
### ~
|
||||
Finally, we want to chart the acceleration. So we must first implement `plot bar graph`. `Plot Bar Graph` will display a vertical bar graph based on the value and high value. In order to transfer the receive the number from the 1st micro:bit, we must implement `receive number` to constantly display a vertical bar graph based on the value. Remember, the value will equal to the micro:bit's acceleration in the "x" direction.
|
||||
|
||||
```blocks
|
||||
basic.forever(() => {
|
||||
radio.sendNumber(input.acceleration(Dimension.X))
|
||||
})
|
||||
radio.onDataReceived(() => {
|
||||
led.plotBarGraph(radio.receiveNumber(), 1023)
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
### ~
|
||||
Notice that moving the micro:bit the farthest direction in the x direction will be -1023 on the charting beneath the simulator. The second observation will be that the LEDs will be full brightness on the 2nd micro:bit. There is a single LED turned on with the 1st micro:bit. Additionally, the graphs will reflect 0 acceleation for the 1st micro:bit. In this scenario, if you are adjusting the acceleration in the simualator, you are also changing your chart that will be produced.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### ~
|
||||
NOTE: The colors of the charts reflect the color of the micro:bit simulator. In this instance, the micro:bits are blue and green. So the colors of the line graphs reflect the colors of the micro:bit
|
||||
|
||||
### ~
|
||||
After running this simulation several seconds by moving the micro:bit side to side in the x direction, you are ready to graph or chart the accceleration of the micro:bit. We want a printout of our acceleration on Excel. We will graph the fluctuating acceleration of the simulation experiment.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### ~
|
||||
Finally, you must open the Excel CSV file by clicking on the data.xls file that was downloaded to Downloads Folder.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Use the Recommended Charts command on the Insert tab to quickly create a chart that’s just right for your data.
|
||||
|
||||
* Select the data that you want to include in your chart.
|
||||
|
||||
* Click Insert > Recommended Charts.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
* On the Recommended Charts tab, scroll through the list of chart types that Excel recommends for your data. Pick the **scatter plot**.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
* Use the Chart Elements, Chart Styles, and Chart Filters buttons next to the upper-right corner of the chart to add chart elements like axis titles or data labels, to customize the look of your chart
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### ~
|
||||
Have fun reviewing your simulation and analyze the acceleration by chart the Excel data using Excel.
|
||||
|
||||
* Connect the first micro:bit to your computer using your USB cable and run the charting script on it.
|
||||
* Connect the second micro:bit to your computer using your USB cable and run the charting script on it.
|
||||
* The first person and second person take turns tilting the micro:bit in the "x" direction while the other player charts the data on the micro:bit!
|
||||
* Review and analyze the actual micro:bit device acceleration data on Excel
|
||||
* Display acceleration with y or z using plot bar graph by changing acceleration from "x" to "y" or "z"

|

Welcome! This activity will teach how to use the micro:bit to chart the acceleration in the "x" direction. Let's get started!
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### ~
|
||||
Let's measure `acceleration (mg)` in the "x" direction. Get the acceleration value (milli g-force), in one of three specified dimensions.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
```blocks
|
||||
input.acceleration(Dimension.X)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### ~
|
||||
Use the plot bar chart to visualize the acceleration on the LED screen of the micro:bit in the specified range. You implement plot Bar Graph to display a vertical bar graph based on the "value" and "high" value. Then you must insert acceleration in the X dimension to measure the acceleration.
|
||||
|
||||
```blocks
|
||||
basic.forever(() => {
|
||||
led.plotBarGraph(input.acceleration(Dimension.X), 0)
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### ~
|
||||
Notice that moving the micro:bit in the simulator from left to right (x direction) changes the values beneath the micro:bit in a range from 1023 to -1023 as measured in milli-gravities. By hovering over the micro:bit from left to right, you can observe changing values beneath the micro:bit simulator. Also, the LEDs shown on the Bar Graph fluctates based on the movement of the micro:bit simulator in the x direction. The line underneath the micro:bit simulator reflect the acceleration in the x direction.
|
||||
|
||||
NOTE: The colors of the charts reflect the color of the micro:bit simulator. In this instance, the micro:bit is yellow. So the color of the data line reflects the color of the micro:bit
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### ~
|
||||
|
||||
Vigorously move the micro:bit in the micro:bit simulatator by moving the micro:bit image from side to side. Every time the micro:bit moves in the x direction in the simulator, you are generating data points that can be reviewed in Excel. The more attempts to move the micro:bit from side to side, the more data being saved in Excel. After you have vigarously moved the micro:bit simulator from side to side for a sufficient amount of time, you are ready to graph or chart the accceleration of the micro:bit. We want a printout of our acceleration on Excel that can be graphed in Excel.
|
||||
|
||||
### ~
|
||||
|
||||
We want to chart the data collected by using a tool in Excel.
|
||||
|
||||
The final part of this experiment is opening and reviewing the data in the Excel CSV file. Simply click on the line beneath the simulator. A CSV file will be generated to display the data points collected by moving the micro:bit in the X direction. Then click or tap on the data Excel file that was downloaded to your local ``Downloads`` Folder.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### ~
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
First, click or tap on the first two columns (A, B) to include the time of the data being collected; b) the results of acceleration data on the micro:bit
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Use the Recommended Charts command on the Insert tab to quickly create a chart that’s just right for your data.
|
||||
|
||||
* Select the data that you want to include in your chart.
|
||||
|
||||
* Click Insert > Recommended Charts.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
* On the Recommended Charts tab, scroll through the list of chart types that Excel recommends for your data. Pick the **scatter plot**.

In this project, you will build a Rock Paper Scissors game with the BBC micro:bit.
|
||||
You can play the game with a friend who has it on a micro:bit.
|
||||
You can also play it with friends who are just using their hands.
|
||||

## [START PROJECT](/#follow:/projects/rock-paper-scissors)
|
||||
|
||||
### ~
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Materials needed
|
||||
|
||||
* Your BBC micro:bit -- that's it!
|
||||
|
||||
## Step 1: Getting started
|
||||
|
||||
We want the micro:bit to choose rock, paper, or scissors when you shake it.
|
||||
Try creating an ``on shake`` block so when you shake the micro:bit, it will run part of a program.
|
||||
|
||||
```blocks
|
||||
input.onGesture(Gesture.Shake, () => {
|
||||
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Next, when you shake the micro:bit, it should pick a random number from `0` to `2`
|
||||
and store it in the variable `weapon`. (This variable is named `weapon` because
|
||||
rock, paper, and scissors are the weapons you use to battle your friends!)
|
||||
|
||||
Add a ``set`` block with a variable. Then add a ``pick random`` block,
|
||||
and store the random number in the variable,
|
||||
like this:
|
||||
|
||||
```blocks
|
||||
input.onGesture(Gesture.Shake, () => {
|
||||
let weapon = Math.random(3)
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### ~hint
|
||||
No one can predict random numbers. That's what makes them great for Rock Paper Scissors!
|
||||
### ~
|
||||
|
||||
Each possible number these blocks can make (`0`, `1`, or `2`) means a different picture.
|
||||
We will show the right picture for that number on the LED screen.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Step 2: Picking paper
|
||||
|
||||
Put an ``if`` block after the ``let`` block that checks whether
|
||||
`weapon` is `0`. Make sure the ``if`` block has an ``else if`` part
|
||||
and an ``else`` part.
|
||||
|
||||
Next, add a ``show leds`` block that shows a
|
||||
picture of a piece of paper:
|
||||
|
||||
```blocks
|
||||
input.onGesture(Gesture.Shake, () => {
|
||||
let weapon = Math.random(3)
|
||||
if (weapon == 0) {
|
||||
basic.showLeds(`
|
||||
# # # # #
|
||||
# . . . #
|
||||
# . . . #
|
||||
# . . . #
|
||||
# # # # #
|
||||
`)
|
||||
} else if (false) {
|
||||
|
||||
} else {
|
||||
|
||||
}
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Step 3: A random rock
|
||||
|
||||
Now we are going to add a new picture for the micro:bit to show
|
||||
when another random number comes up.
|
||||
|
||||
Make the ``else if`` part check if the variable `weapon` is `1`.
|
||||
Then add a ``show leds`` block with a picture of a rock.
|
||||
|
||||
```blocks
|
||||
input.onGesture(Gesture.Shake, () => {
|
||||
let weapon = Math.random(3)
|
||||
if (weapon == 0) {
|
||||
basic.showLeds(`
|
||||
# # # # #
|
||||
# . . . #
|
||||
# . . . #
|
||||
# . . . #
|
||||
# # # # #
|
||||
`)
|
||||
|
||||
} else if (weapon == 1) {
|
||||
basic.showLeds(`
|
||||
. . . . .
|
||||
. # # # .
|
||||
. # # # .
|
||||
. # # # .
|
||||
. . . . .
|
||||
`)
|
||||
} else {
|
||||
|
||||
}
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Step 4: Suddenly scissors
|
||||
|
||||
Add a ``show leds`` block with a picture of scissors to the ``else`` part:
|
||||
|
||||
```blocks
|
||||
input.onGesture(Gesture.Shake, () => {
|
||||
let weapon = Math.random(3)
|
||||
if (weapon == 0) {
|
||||
basic.showLeds(`
|
||||
# # # # #
|
||||
# . . . #
|
||||
# . . . #
|
||||
# . . . #
|
||||
# # # # #
|
||||
`)
|
||||
|
||||
} else if (weapon == 1) {
|
||||
basic.showLeds(`
|
||||
. . . . .
|
||||
. # # # .
|
||||
. # # # .
|
||||
. # # # .
|
||||
. . . . .
|
||||
`)
|
||||
} else {
|
||||
basic.showLeds(`
|
||||
# # . . #
|
||||
# # . # .
|
||||
. . # . .
|
||||
# # . # .
|
||||
# # . . #
|
||||
`)
|
||||
}
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### ~hint
|
||||
|
||||
You don't need to check if `weapon` is `2` because `2` is the only number left out of `0`, `1`, and `2`.
|
||||
That's why you can use an ``else`` instead of an ``else if``.
|
||||
|
||||
### ~
|
||||
|
||||
Your game is ready! Have fun!
|
||||
|
||||
## Step 5: Are you the greatest?
|
||||
|
||||
Here is a way you can make your Rock Paper Scissors game better.
|
||||
When button ``A`` is pressed,
|
||||
the micro:bit will add `1` to your score.
|
||||
|
||||
Open the ``Game`` drawer, and then add the block ``change score by 1`` to your program,
|
||||
like this:
|
||||
|
||||
```blocks
|
||||
input.onButtonPressed(Button.A, () => {
|
||||
game.addScore(1)
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Step 6: Prove you're the greatest!
|
||||
|
||||
After your micro:bit can add `1` to the score, show how many wins you have.
|
||||
|
||||
```blocks
|
||||
input.onButtonPressed(Button.A, () => {
|
||||
game.addScore(1)
|
||||
basic.showString("WINS:")
|
||||
basic.showNumber(game.score())
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
## Step 7: Staying honest
|
||||
|
||||
Success! Your micro:bit can track wins!
|
||||
But what about losses?
|
||||
Use the ``Game`` drawer to subtract `1` from your score when you press button `B`.
|
||||
|
||||
Here are all the blocks you will need:
|
||||
|
||||
```shuffle
|
||||
input.onButtonPressed(Button.B, () => {
|
||||
game.addScore(-1)
|
||||
basic.showString("LOSSES:")
|
||||
basic.showNumber(game.score())
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Step 8: Hacking Rock Paper Scissors
|
||||
|
||||
How else can you make your game better?

# smiley buttons
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Use buttons to show a smiley or frowny face.
|
||||
|
||||
## Step 1
|
||||
|
||||
Use [show leds](/reference/basic/showLeds) to make a smiley face:
|
||||
|
||||
```blocks
|
||||
basic.showLeds(`
|
||||
. # . # .
|
||||
. # . # .
|
||||
. . . . .
|
||||
# . . . #
|
||||
. # # # .`);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Step 2
|
||||
|
||||
Add an input block for when [button A is pressed](/reference/input/button-is-pressed), and put a
|
||||
frowny face inside it:
|
||||
|
||||
```blocks
|
||||
basic.showLeds(`
|
||||
. # . # .
|
||||
. # . # .
|
||||
. . . . .
|
||||
# . . . #
|
||||
. # # # .`);
|
||||
input.onButtonPressed(Button.A, () => {
|
||||
basic.showLeds(`
|
||||
. # . # .
|
||||
. # . # .
|
||||
. . . . .
|
||||
. # # # .
|
||||
# . . . #`);
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Step 3
|
||||
|
||||
Now add blocks so that when [button B is pressed](/reference/input/button-is-pressed), a smiley appears:
|
||||
|
||||
```blocks
|
||||
basic.showLeds(`
|
||||
. # . # .
|
||||
. # . # .
|
||||
. . . . .
|
||||
# . . . #
|
||||
. # # # .`);
|
||||
input.onButtonPressed(Button.A, () => {
|
||||
basic.showLeds(`
|
||||
. # . # .
|
||||
. # . # .
|
||||
. . . . .
|
||||
. # # # .
|
||||
# . . . #`);
|
||||
});
|
||||
input.onButtonPressed(Button.B, () => {
|
||||
basic.showLeds(`
|
||||
. # . # .
|
||||
. # . # .
|
||||
. . . . .
|
||||
# . . . #
|
||||
. # # # .`);
|
||||
});

# event handler
|
||||
|
||||
Event handlers - how they work.
|
||||
|
||||
An event handler is code that is associated with a particular event, such as "button A pressed". You create (or register) the association between an event and an event handler by calling a function named "on <event>". After registering an event handler with an event, then whenever that event occurs, the event handler code executes.
|
||||
|
||||
### Registering an event handler
|
||||
|
||||
Functions named "on <event>" create an association between an event and the event handler code. For example, the following code registers the event handler (the code between the `do` and `end` keywords) with the event of a press of button A:
|
||||
|
||||
```blocks
|
||||
input.onButtonPressed(Button.A, () => {
|
||||
basic.showString("hello", 150)
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
After this code executes, then whenever button A is pressed in the future, the string "hello" will be printed.
|
||||
|
||||
### Event handlers are active for the entire program execution
|
||||
|
||||
Once you have registered an event handler for an event, like above, that event handler is active for the rest of the program execution. If you want to stop the string "hello" from printing each time button A is pressed then you need to arrange for the following code to execute:
|
||||
|
||||
```blocks
|
||||
input.onButtonPressed(Button.A, () => {
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The above code associated an event handler that does nothing with the event of a press of button A.
|
||||
|
||||
### There is only one event handler per event
|
||||
|
||||
The above example also illustrates that there is only one event handler for each event. What is the result of the following code?
|
||||
|
||||
```blocks
|
||||
input.onButtonPressed(Button.A, () => {
|
||||
basic.showString("hello", 150)
|
||||
})
|
||||
input.onButtonPressed(Button.A, () => {
|
||||
basic.showString("goodbye", 150)
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The answer is that whenever button A is pressed, the string "goodbye" will be printed. If you want both the strings "hello" and "goodbye" to be printed, you need to write the code like this:
|
||||
|
||||
```blocks
|
||||
input.onButtonPressed(Button.A, () => {
|
||||
basic.showString("hello", 150)
|
||||
basic.showString("goodbye", 150)
|
||||
})
|
||||
```

||||
