# Camp
Are you ready to build cool BBC micro:bit programs? For each challenge, reorder the blocks to recreate the program.
## Basic
### Show your name
Reorder the blocks below to make the micro:bit show your name.
```shuffle
basic.showString('Hello!')
```
### Repeat Forever
Instead of showing your name once, we will repeat it forever!
Reorder the blocks to make the micro:bit show the name continuously.
```shuffle
basic.forever(() => {
basic.showString('Hello!')
});
```
### Show leds
Use the blocks below to draw a figure on the screen. You can redo the smiley face or try something else!
```shuffle
basic.showLeds(`
. . . . .
. # . # .
. . . . .
# . . . #
. # # # .
`)
```
### Show an animation
To create animation, you can draw multiple drawing using ``show led`` and repeat it. This is just like cartoons in movies.
Unsuffle the blocks to create a happy, unhappy animation.... or changes the image to make it your own!
```shuffle
basic.forever(() => {
basic.showLeds(`
. . . . .
. # . # .
. . . . .
# . . . #
. # # # .
`)
basic.showLeds(`
. . . . .
. # . # .
. . . . .
. # # # .
# . . . #
`)
});
```
### Your turn now!
Use the blocks and create your own custom awesome animation!
## Inputs
### Button A and B
Unshuffle the blocks so that the micro:bit shows "YES" when button A is pressed, and "NO" when B is pressed.
The key idea is that all the blocks nested under `on button ... pressed` will run when that button is pressed.
```blocks
input.onButtonPressed(Button.A, () => {
basic.showString("AAAAA");
});
```
Try to unshuffle those blocks:
```shuffle
input.onButtonPressed(Button.A, () => {
basic.showString("YES");
});
input.onButtonPressed(Button.B, () => {
basic.showString("NO");
});
```
### Shake
Using the data from the **accelerometer**, it is possible to detect that the BBC micro:bit is being shaken.
Unshuffle the code to display a frownie when shaken.
```shuffle
input.onGesture(Gesture.Shake, () => {
basic.showLeds(`
. . . . .
. # . # .
. . . . .
. # # # .
# . . . #`);
});
```
### Tilting
Aside from shake, it is also possible to detect tilt left and right, logo up and down or face up and down.
Let's build a rock paper scissors game where you turn the micro:bit left to display paper, right to display scissors and down to display rock.
Unshuffle and try this code on the micro:bit itself!
```shuffle
input.onGesture(Gesture.TiltLeft, () => {
basic.showLeds(`
# # # # #
# . . . #
# . . . #
# . . . #
# # # # #`);
});
input.onGesture(Gesture.LogoDown, () => {
basic.showLeds(`
. . . . .
. # # # .
. # # # .
. # # # .
. . . . .`);
});
input.onGesture(Gesture.TiltRight, () => {
basic.showLeds(`
# # . . #
# # . # .
. . # . .
# # . # .
# # . . #`);
});
```
### Pins
It is possible to use the pins (big metal bar at the bottom of the board) as button. Hold the ``GND`` button with one hand and press the ``0`` pin
(called ``P0``) with the other hand to trigger a pin pressed.
Unshuffle the blocks to display a smiley when pin ``P0`` is pressed.
```shuffle
input.onPinPressed(TouchPin.P0, () => {
basic.showLeds(`
. . . . .
. # . # .
. . . . .
# . . . #
. # # # .`);
});
```
### Your turn now!
Use the scree, buttons, gestures, pins to create a fun game using the micro:bit.

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:

led.plot(0, 0)

# 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")
})
```
## How to read the micro:bit's serial output from your computer
Unfortunately, using the serial library requires quite a bit of a setup.
### 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
* Install a terminal emulator; we recommend [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.
### Alternative Windows setup with 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.
![](/static/mb/serial-library-0.png)
* (optional): in the "Terminal" section, check "implicit cr in every lf"
![](/static/mb/serial-library-1.png)
### 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`.

# Activity
Measure the acceleration on the micro:bit in the "z" direction.
Measure the acceleration on the micro:bit in the "x" direction.
### ~avatar avatar
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
![](/static/mb/data4.png)
### ~
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.
### ~
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!
We want to chart the data collected by using a tool in Excel.
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));
});
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.
```
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!
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
![](/static/mb/data7.png)
Use the Recommended Charts command on the Insert tab to quickly create a chart thats just right for your data.
* Select the data that you want to include in your chart.
* Click Insert > Recommended Charts.
![](/static/mb/chart1.png)
* On the Recommended Charts tab, scroll through the list of chart types that Excel recommends for your data.
Click any chart type to see how your data will look in that format.
When you find the chart type that you want, click it, and then click OK. We want to select the chart called Line. A line chart is used to display trends over time. We will use the line chart because there are many data points over time.
Tip: If you dont see a chart type that you want, click the All Charts tab to see all of the available chart types.
![](/static/mb/chart_title.png)
* 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
![](/static/mb/elements_styles_filters.png)
* Connect a micro:bit to your computer using your USB cable; compile; and repeat this experiment by moving the micro:bit in the "x" direction. Then collect and chart the data on Excel.
* Review and analyze the actual micro:bit device data on Excel
* Display acceleration with y or z using plot bar graph by changing acceleration from "x" to "y" or "z"

# Challenge
### ~avatar avatar
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));
});
```
### ~

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.

```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.
![](/static/mb/acc.png)
### ~
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 simulatation 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.
![](/static/mb/acc2.png)

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

# Seismograph Activity
### ~avatar avatar
In this project, you will build your own seismograph.
## What you'll need:
* micro:bit
* USB cable
* Scissors
* Glue gun
* String
* Cup (Plastic or Paper)
* Magnet
Welcome! This activity will teach how to use the micro:bit to chart the strength of the acceleration. Let's get started!
1. Setup Cup: Use scissors to cut a usable window on the cup, which will be a square sized hole at the lid side of the cup. Use scissors to create a small hole in the center of the base of the cup.
2. Fasten Magnet: Fasten end of the string to the magnet with glue
3. Secure String: Fasten string to base of the cup and hang the remaining string outside the base of the cup.
### ~avatar avatar
Seismograph built, let's code!
### ~
4. Go to Codemicrobit.com
Click or tap Create Code
Click or tap Block Editor
### ~
5.
We will measure `acceleration (mg)` in terms of strength. Get the acceleration value (milli g-force), as measured in strength.
```blocks
input.acceleration(Dimension.Strength);
```
### ~
6.
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 based on strength.
```blocks
basic.forever(() => {
led.plotBarGraph(input.acceleration(Dimension.Strength), 0);
});
```
### ~
7.
Finally, we subtract the gravity from acceleration strength.
```blocks
basic.forever(() => {
led.plotBarGraph(input.acceleration(Dimension.Strength) - 1023, 0);
});
```
### ~
8.
Notice that making vibrating the object below the micro:bit changes the values and the line appears as a wave to display the value of the strength as measured in milli-gravities. By making the object below the micro:bit vibrate, you will observe changing values of the micro:bit. Also, the LEDs shown on the Bar Graph fluctates based on the movement of the micro:bit strength.
NOTE: The black color reflects the micro:bit device.
![](/static/mb/data4.png)
### ~
9.
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.
### ~
10.
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.
### ~
10.
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
![](/static/mb/data7.png)
Use the Recommended Charts command on the Insert tab to quickly create a chart thats just right for your data.
* Select the data that you want to include in your chart.
* Click Insert > Recommended Charts.
### ~
11.
![](/static/mb/chart1.png)
* On the Recommended Charts tab, scroll through the list of chart types that Excel recommends for your data.
Click any chart type to see how your data will look in that format.
When you find the chart type that you want, click it, and then click OK. We want to select the chart called Line. A line chart is used to display trends over time. We will use the line chart because there are many data points over time.
Tip: If you dont see a chart type that you want, click the All Charts tab to see all of the available chart types.

# Challenge
### ~avatar avatar
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.
![](/static/mb/acc.png)
### ~
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 simulatation 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.
![](/static/mb/acc2.png)
### ~
Finally, you must open the Excel CSV file by clicking on the data.xls file that was downloaded to Downloads Folder.
![](/static/mb/data3.png)
Use the Recommended Charts command on the Insert tab to quickly create a chart thats just right for your data.
* Select the data that you want to include in your chart.
* Click Insert > Recommended Charts.
![](/static/mb/chart1.png)
* On the Recommended Charts tab, scroll through the list of chart types that Excel recommends for your data.
Click any chart type to see how your data will look in that format.
When you find the chart type that you want, click it, and then click OK. We want to select the chart called Line. A line chart is used to display trends over time. We will use the line chart because there are many data points over time.

![](/static/mb/elements_styles_filters.png)
### ~
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"

# truth or dare tutorial
### ~avatar avatar
### @video td/videos/truth-or-dare-0
The *Truth or dare!* game works as follows: a player spins the BBC micro:bit on the table.
When the micro:bit stops spinning, the player pointed by the arrow (displayed on screen) must press the button "A"
to see if she has to provide a *truth* or a *dare*.
### ~
### Rebuild the game!
The blocks have been shuffled! Put them back together so that...
* an up arrow is displayed when the micro:bit is powered on.
* on button `A` is pressed,
* randomly display "TRUTH" or "DARE" on the screen
* show the up arrow again.
```shuffle
basic.showLeds(`
. . # . .
. # # # .
# # # # #
. . # . .
. . # . .
`)
input.onButtonPressed(Button.A, () => {
let random = Math.random(2)
if (random == 0) {
basic.showString("TRUTH")
} else {
basic.showString("DARE")
}

# 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.
