# 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
|
||||
```
|
||||
npm install -g pxt
|
||||
```
|
||||
* install the dependencies
|
||||
```
|
||||
npm install
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 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)
|
||||
```
|
||||
pxt update
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

## 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
|
||||
* 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.
|
||||
|
||||
#### 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.

||||
@ -32,7 +51,7 @@ You should be good. Feel free to hit `Setup` > `Save Setup` in the menus to eras

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.

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(`
|
||||
. . . . .
|
||||
. # . # .

||||

||||
# . . . #

||||

||||

||||

||||

||||

||||

||||

||||
# . . . #

||||
`)
|
||||
});
|
||||
```

||||

||||
|
||||
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, () => {

## The amazing coin flipper
|
||||
|
||||
### ~avatar avatar
|
||||
|
||||
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?

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
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### ~
|
||||
|
||||
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
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
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**.

# 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 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(() => {
|
||||
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||

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.

|
||||
})
|
||||
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.

## 1. Why are you creating a 'forever' loop?

We are creating a forever loop to constantly display the appropriate brightness on the LED display.
|
||||
|
||||
## 2. Write the line of code to measure the acceleration with respect to the "x" axis and display this value in a bar graph.
|
||||

||||
<br/>
|
||||
|
||||
```blocks
|
||||
led.plotBarGraph(input.acceleration(Dimension.X), 0)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## 3. After vigarously moving the micro:bit from side to side along the "x" axis for a sufficient amount of time,insert the Excel graph for displaying a line chart used to display trends over time.

Let's include a second sound `on pin pressed` *P2*. To do this, you need to add the same blocks as the banana keyboard activity. However, you must change alter `on pin pressed` from P1 to P2. Additionally, you must *decrease* the frequency of the variable "sound" by 25. Modify your code so that your code looks like this

Since the micro:bit will be swinging back and forth, the acceleration will only be positive half of the time. Thus, to always get a positive value, we want to take the absolute value of the acceleration.

The function `acceleration(y)` returns a number between 0 and 1024. We want to use this value for the brightness of the micro:bit, but the `set brightness()` only accepts a value between 0 and 256. Thus, we need to divide the acceleration by 4 to ensure we will be in the appropriate range.

Hold the micro:bit in your hand in a dark room. Move the micro:bit like a pendulum and produce a slow image that captures the pattern of the micro:bit LEDs.

**Challenge 2**
|
||||
### Challenge 2
|
||||
|
||||
Replace "y" in `acceleration(y)` with "x" or "z". Changing the axis will cause the micro:bit to measure the force in a different direction. What differences in the resulting pattern does this replacement make?

* reads the acceleration along the ``y`` axis,
|
||||
* calculate the absolute value of the acceleration
|
||||
* scales down the acceleration value by a factor of `4`
|
||||
* uses the scaled value to set the screen **brightness**
