# 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.
|
||||
|
||||
* clone this repo to your computer
|
||||
* 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
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

* Find the latest build under ``win10/app/AppPackages/latest`` and run the ``Add-AppDevPackage.ps1`` PowerShell script (mouse right-click, then `run with PowerShell`)
|
||||
that wraps ``m.pxt.io`` and provides additional features.
|
||||
|
||||
### Building
|
||||
|
||||
* Install Visual Studio 2015 Update 2 or higher. Make sure the Windows 10 templates are installed.

A Boolean has one of two possible values: `true`; `false`. Boolean (logical) operators (*and*, *or*, *not*) take Boolean inputs and yields a Boolean value. Comparison operators on other types ([numbers](/reference/types/number), [strings](/reference/types/string) yields a Boolean value.

# While
|
||||
|
||||
Repeat code while a [Boolean](/blocks/logic/boolean) `condition` is true.

```blocks

while(true) {

|
||||
|
||||
The while loop has a *condition* that evaluates to a [Boolean](/blocks/logic/boolean) value. After the `do` keyword, add the code that you want to run while the `condition` is `true`. The while loop concludes with `end while`.
|
||||
|
||||
The condition is tested before any code runs. Which means that if the condition is false, the code inside the loop doesn't execute.
|
||||
|
||||
### Example: diagonal line

||||
|
||||
The following example uses a while loop to make a diagonal line on the LED screen (points `0, 0`, `1, 1`, `2, 2`, `3, 3`, `4, 4`).

# Assignment Operator
|
||||
|
||||
Use an equals sign to make a [variable](/blocks/variables/var) store the [number](/reference/types/number)
|
||||
or [string](/reference/types/string) you say.
|
||||
|
||||
When you use the equals sign to store something in a variable, the equals sign is called
|
||||
an *assignment operator*, and what you store is called a *value*.
|
||||
|
||||
### Storing numbers in variables

||||
This program makes the variable `item` equal `5` and then shows it on the [LED screen](/device/screen).

||||
````blocks
|
||||
let name = "Joe"
|
||||

||||
````
|
||||
|
||||
### Notes
|
||||
|
||||
You can use the assignment operator with variables of
|
||||
every [type](/reference/types). A *type* is which kind of thing
|
||||
a variable can store, like a number or string.

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).
|
||||
You use `(x ,y)` coordinates to specify a particular LED in the grid;
|
||||
where `x` is the horizontal position (0,1,2,3,4) 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).
|
||||
|
||||
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)`

||||
|

|

|
||||
`(0,4)` `(1,4)` `(2,4)` `(3,4)` `(4,4)`
|
||||
|
||||
The x, y coordinates for the LED in the centre of the grid are `2, 2`. Starting from `0, 0` count over 2 columns and then down 2 rows.
|

The x, y coordinates for the LED in the centre of the grid are `(2,2)`. Starting from `(0,0)` count over 2 columns and then down 2 rows.

### Check your understanding
|
||||
|
||||
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`.

## 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.

### Happy face
|
||||
|
||||
There are three blocks in the editor (the area to the left).
|
||||
Arrange them to look like this:
|
||||
|
||||
```blocks
|
||||
basic.forever(() => {
|
||||
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)!

||||

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!

## 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?

|
||||
## 1. Why are you creating a 'forever' loop?
|
||||
|
||||
<br/>
|
||||
|
||||
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.

## 1. Why are you creating a 'forever' loop?
|
||||
|
||||
<br/>
|
||||
|
||||
## 2. Write the line of code to measure the acceleration with respect to the "y" axis and store this value in a local variable called 'acceleration'.
|
||||
|
||||
<br/>
|
||||
|
||||
## 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

### Challenge 1
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
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?

Welcome! This activity will teach how to display a series of numbers for a for loop. Let's get started!
|

Let's create a for loop where `0` is the loop's starting value, `i` is the index variable, and `5` is the ending value. The index variable `i` starts at 0 and increases by 1 each time through the loop. The loop ends when `i = 5`.
