### Building
|
||||
|
||||
* Install Visual Studio 2015 Update 2 or higher. Make sure the Windows 10 templates are installed.
|
||||
* open the ``win10/app.sln`` solution and launch the ``codethemicrobit`` project.
|
||||
|
||||
## Testing
|
||||
|
||||
The build automatically runs the following:
|
||||
|
||||
* make sure the built-in packages compile
|
||||
* `pxt run` in `libs/lang-test*` - this will run the test in command line runner;
|
||||
there is a number of asserts in both of these
|
||||
* `pxt testdir` in `tests` - this makes sure all the files compile and generates .hex files
|
||||
* run the TD->TS converter on a number of test scripts from `microbit.co.uk` and make sure the results compile
|
||||
|
||||
To test something on the device:
|
||||
|
||||
* do a `pxt deploy` in `libs/lang-test*` - they should show `1` or `2` on the screen (and not unhappy face)
|
||||
* run `pxt testdir` in `tests` and deploy some of the hex files from `tests/built`
|
||||
|
||||
The `lang-test0` source comes from the `pxt-core` package. It's also tested with `pxt run` there.
|

The second job of the scheduler is to periodically interrupt execution to read (poll) the various inputs to the micro:bit (the buttons, pins, etc.) and fire off events (such as “button A pressed”). Recall that the firing of an event causes the event handler subprogram associated with that event to be queued for later execution. The scheduler uses a timer built into the micro:bit hardware to interrupt execution every 6 milliseconds and poll the inputs, which is more than fast enough to catch the quickest press of a button.

We will call this “passing control of execution” rather than “passing the ball”. However, in the world of the micro:bit, the concurrently executing subprograms are not aware of each other, so they don’t actually pass control directly to one another. Rather they pass control of execution back to the scheduler and the scheduler determines the subprogram to pass control to next. The programmer inserts a call to the `pause` function to indicate a point in the subprogram where control of execution passes to the scheduler. Also, when a subprogram ends execution, control passes to the scheduler.

The `forever` loop actually is a function that takes a subprogram (an *Action* in Touch Develop) as a parameter. The function uses the `control -> in background` function of the micro:bit runtime to queue a `while true` loop for execution by the scheduler. The while loop has two statements. The first statement runs the subprogram represented by the `body` parameter. The second statement passes control to the scheduler (requesting to “sleep” for 20 milliseconds).

When you select **compile** in Safari on Mac, your file will be downloaded to your downloads folder. Go to your downloads folder and open the file. In Safari the file will appear as unknown.txt rather than a named .hex file. Drag and drop it onto your MICROBIT drive.
|
||||
When you select **Download** in Safari a file called `Unknown` will be
|

|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Step 3: Transfer the file to your micro:bit
|
||||
|
||||
1. The file will transfer onto your micro:bit.
|
||||
|
||||
2. If you're using Windows, you can use **Send to** as described below.
|
||||
|
||||
3. The LED on the back of your micro:bit flashes during the transfer (which should only take a few seconds).
|
||||
|
||||
4. Once transferred, the code will run automatically on your micro:bit. To rerun your program, press the reset button on the back of your micro:bit. The reset button automatically runs the newest file on the micro:bit.
|
||||
* Once you've found the folder containing your `.hex` file, drag and drop it
|
||||
onto your `MICROBIT` drive
|
||||
* If you're using Windows, you can use **Send to** as described below
|
||||
* The LED on the back of your micro:bit flashes during the transfer (which
|
||||
should only take a few seconds).
|
||||
* Once transferred, the code will run automatically on your micro:bit. To rerun
|
||||
your program, press the reset button on the back of your micro:bit. The reset
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
**Send to**: If you're using Windows you use *Send to* in File Explorer:
|
||||
|
||||
- In File Explorer, right-click on the hex file (created in Step 2 above), choose **Send to**, and then **MICROBIT**.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
By copying the script onto the 'MICROBIT' drive, you have programmed it into the flash memory on the micro:bit, which means even after you unplug the micro:bit, your script will still run if the micro:bit is powered by battery.

automatically deploy hex files to your micro:bit. It works on Windows and is
|
||||
compatible with any browser.
|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
You can’t drag and drop more than one hex file at once onto your micro:bit. If you try to drag and drop a second hex file onto your micro:bit before the first file has finished downloading, then the second file may fail in different ways.

||||
Or it may appear that there are two hex files on your micro:bit so the micro:bit won’t be able to run multiple files. To rectify this, unplug your micro:bit and plug it in again. Make sure that your micro:bit appears as MICROBIT and not MAINTENANCE.

# Frequently asked questions
|
||||
|
||||
# What is the language supported for the micro:bit?
|
||||
|
||||
For the micro:bit, we support a "static" subset of TypeScript (itself a superset of JavaScript):
|
||||
|
||||
## Supported language features
|
||||
|
||||
* variables with `let`, `const`, and `var`
|
||||
* functions with lexical scoping and recursion
|
||||
* top-level code in the file; hello world really is `console.log("Hello world")`
|
||||
* `if ... else if ... else` statements
|
||||
* `while` and `do ... while` loops
|
||||
* `for(;;)` loops (see below about `for ... in/of`)
|
||||
* `break/continue`; also with labeled loops
|
||||
* `switch` statement (on numbers only)
|
||||
* `debugger` statement for breakpoints
|
||||
* conditional operator `? :`; lazy boolean operators
|
||||
* namespaces (a form of modules)
|
||||
* all arithmetic operators (including bitwise operators); note that in microcontroller targets
|
||||
all arithmetic is performed on integers, also when simulating in the browser
|
||||
* strings (with a few common methods)
|
||||
* [string templates](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Template_literals) (`` `x is ${x}` ``)
|
||||
* arrow functions `() => ...`
|
||||
* classes with fields, methods and constructors; `new` keyword
|
||||
* array literals `[1, 2, 3]`
|
||||
* enums
|
||||
|
||||
## Unsupported language features
|
||||
|
||||
We generally stay away from the more dynamic parts of JavaScript.
|
||||
Things you may miss and we may implement:
|
||||
|
||||
* exceptions (`throw`, `try ... catch`, `try ... finally`)
|
||||
* `for ... of` statements
|
||||
* object literals `{ foo: 1, bar: "two" }`
|
||||
* method-like properties (get/set accessors)
|
||||
* class inheritance
|
||||
|
||||
For JS-only targets we may implement the following:
|
||||
|
||||
* regular expressions
|
||||
* classes implementing interfaces
|
||||
|
||||
Things that we are not very likely to implement:
|
||||
|
||||
* file-based modules (`import * from ...`, `module.exports` etc); we do support namespaces
|
||||
* spread operator
|
||||
* `yield` expression and ``function*``
|
||||
* `await` expression and `async function`
|
||||
* `typeof` expression
|
||||
* tagged templates ``tag `text ${expression} more text` ``; regular templates are supported
|
||||
* binding with arrays or objects: `let [a, b] = ...; let { x, y } = ...`
|
||||
* `with` statement
|
||||
* `eval`
|
||||
* `delete` statement
|
||||
* `for ... in` statements
|
||||
* JSX (HTML as part of JavaScript)

@ -16,11 +18,13 @@ This statement, or code, will happen as soon as the BBC micro:bit is activated.
|
||||
|
||||
In programming we use an ‘if’ statement: if this condition is met, do something. Lets add an if statement to the code we had before; the BBC Micro:bit will wait for the user to press a button before showing the image.
|
||||
|
||||
### Write the code
|
||||
|
||||
Click the **if** category and drag an `if/do` block. Drag the`show string` block we wrote previously into the `do` section of the block. Next click the **input** tab and drag a `button pressed` block, connect it to the open jigsaw of the `if` block. This is our criteria: `if A button is pressed`. We can change which button (button A or B) by clicking the arrow next to ‘A’ and changing the value. This means our BBC micro:bit is waiting for button A (the left button) to be pressed. Finally go to the **basic** tab and drag a `forever` block, and attach all our code inside. We add this block to ensure the BBC micro:bit is always waiting to show us this message, not just once. Your code should look like this:
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
```blocks
|
||||
basic.forever(() => {
|
||||
if (input.buttonIsPressed(Button.A)) {
|
||||
basic.showString("hello world!")
|
||||
}
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Again, test the code in the simulator. Try clicking **Button A** to display the "hello, world!" message every time the `button is pressed`.
|
||||
|
||||
@ -40,9 +44,17 @@ For example, we could make it so our BBC Micro:bit tells us to press the A butto
|
||||
|
||||
We want the message "Press A!" to scroll across the BBC micro:bit, so right-click the `show string` block and select **Duplicate**. Drag this new block into the `else` section and replace the “hello, world!” with "Press A!". Your code should look like this:
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
```blocks
|
||||
basic.forever(() => {
|
||||
if (input.buttonIsPressed(Button.A)) {
|
||||
basic.showString("hello world!")
|
||||
} else {
|
||||
basic.showString("PRESS A")
|
||||
}
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
So, to recap: the `forever` block makes sure our code runs forever. The BBC micro:bit checks if the user is pressing the left button, if the user is not then the “Press the button!” message will scroll across the LEDs. If the user is pressing the button then the “hello, world!” message will scroll across the screen. Check this in the simulator or attach the BBC micro:bit to the computer then click **compile** to send the code onto the BBC micro:bit.

Extra stuff for the Block Editor - an introduction to GPIO
|
||||
|
||||
## Before we get started
|
||||
|
||||
This section details challenges for the BBC micro:bit. Ensure you have completed all other sections of the Microsoft Block Editor tutorials before attempting these challenges!
|
||||
|
||||
## Quiz Challenge [1]
|
||||
|
||||
Using if statements, try to add more statements to create a simple quiz. The user will be told if the question is right or not, and will have two options (button A and button B).
|
||||
|
||||
Here is some sample code for a simple quiz:
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Timer Challenge [2]
|
||||
|
||||
Create a timer that runs out after a certain amount of time (using the *count* loop). For an extra challenge, let the user input the amount of seconds they want the timer to run for using variables and the buttons as input. The solution is below.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Graphics Challenges [3]
|
||||
|
||||
Using the knowledge you have learnt from the [rendering graphics](/lessons/graphics) section, try creating an algorithm to draw these shapes. Before you write the code try to figure out how the BBC micro:bit will be thinking to plot these points. For example, with our diagonal line – “count up from 0 to 4 by 1, and plot points x=i and y=i”.
|
||||
|
||||
* Another diagonal line
|
||||
* A square going around the board
|
||||
* A filled square
|
||||
* A square which unplots itself after
|
||||
* A filled square which then unplots itself
|
||||
|
||||
The solutions are below.
|
||||
|
||||
### Square [3.1]
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### Filled square [3.2]
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### Vanishing square [3.3]
|
||||
|
||||
Use the same code and algorithm for the square solution, only use the ‘unplot’ block to make this LED turn off again. You could also reverse the algorithm.
|
||||
|
||||
### Vanishing filled square [3.4]
|
||||
|
||||
Use the same code and algorithm for the filled square solution, only use the `unplot` block to make this LED turn off again. You could also reverse the algorithm.
|
||||
|
||||
## Animation Challenge [4]
|
||||
|
||||
Use your new knowledge of animations and algorithms to program your BBC micro:bit to act human: for example, you could make your BBC micro:bit smile and wink. Remember you can display images with the `show image` and `create image` blocks. Sample code is below.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Electronic Dice Challenge [5]
|
||||
|
||||
Using the code in the Random Numbers tutorial in Section 6, or your own algorithm, create an electronic dice that displays the values appropriate for a dice (so 1 shows a single LED on in the center, two shows two LEDs on at each corner, etc.). You may want to declare image variables to do this, then check what it is equal to using an ‘if’ statement. Sample code is below.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Calculator Challenge [6]
|
||||
|
||||
Using your knowledge of loops, counters and math, create a calculator.
|
||||
|
||||
The calculator should:
|
||||
|
||||
* Count the amount of times the user presses the left button before pressing the right button (this is the first value, or valueOne)
|
||||
* Count the amount of times the user presses the left button before the right button again (this is the second value, or valueTwo)
|
||||
* Scroll through operations (+,-, x and divide) until the user presses the right button to make a choice
|
||||
* Perform the calculation
|
||||
* Show the entire calculation, for example: 5 + 10 = 15
|
||||
|
||||
Sample code is below.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Smart watch Challenge [8]
|
||||
|
||||
Create a smart watch using the BBC micro:bit. Create a menu where the user presses one button to cycle through options and another button to choose this option. Add applications to this smart watch:
|
||||
|
||||
* Calculators
|
||||
* Games
|
||||
* Random number generators
|
||||
|
||||
And any other applications you can think of.

# blocks - loops
|
||||
|
||||
An introduction to Loops for the Block Editor.
|
||||
|
||||
We may want to handle the user’s input multiple times or remain waiting for their input for a long time. We use loops to make sure that our code runs multiple times. These can be found in the **Loops** drawer.
|
||||
|
||||
### Forever loops
|
||||
|
||||
In the Variables tutorial we utilised a forever loop to create a counter:
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
This allows our BBC micro:bit to wait for the user to do something forever, for example wait for the user to press the correct button as the example above shows. If you were creating a quiz, you may want to loop forever until the user presses the correct button or answers the question.
|
||||
|
||||
### Repeat Loops
|
||||
|
||||
Repeat loops allow code to happen a certain amount of times. You may want to create a quiz that only gives the user a few tries to get the correct answer, for example. The number can be changed to facilitate your code.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
The code above will scroll the message, “Hello world” three times.
|
||||
|
||||
### While & Until loops
|
||||
|
||||
The ‘repeat while’ loop allows you to continue looping some code until a condition is met. The empty socket next to the while loop allows you to connect some Logic and construct a statement.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
The code above will scroll the message, “Press it!”, while the user hasn’t pressed the button.
|
||||
|
||||
* Drag a `set item` block from the **Variables** drawer. Click the **down arrow** and click **New Variable**, and type "pressed". Drag a `0` block from **Maths** to set the variable **pressed** to 0.
|
||||
* Drag a `repeat while` block from the **Loops** drawer and attach an `=` block from the **Logic** drawer. Drag `item` from the **Variables** drawer and click the **down arrow**, select ‘pressed’. Drag a `0` block from Maths and connect it to the other side of the equals. This will carry out the code until ‘pressed’ does not equal 0.
|
||||
* Add a `show string` block from the **Basic** drawer and change the message to "Press it!"
|
||||
* Add an `if` block from the **Logic** drawer, connect a `button pressed` block from the **Input** drawer, and add text from the **Basic** drawer. Change this to A to show we are waiting for button A.
|
||||
* Inside the ‘do’ part of the if statement, add a `set` block from the Variables drawer, click the **down arrow** to change it to **pressed** and drag a `1` from the Maths drawer
|
||||
* Lastly underneath the while loop, add another `show string` block and fill in the gaps.
|
||||
|
||||
Test the code above on actual hardware or on the simulator window.
|
||||
|
||||
We can also change the code in subtle ways to have a completely different effect:
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
This time we have to press the button three times to leave the while loop.
|
||||
|
||||
## Tip
|
||||
|
||||
You can press the arrow next to a word in a block to change it. For example, you can change Math functions or change a Logic statement.
|
||||
|
||||
### Count or for loops
|
||||
|
||||
A count loop allows you to loop a certain amount of times and to change a variable as you do so. For example, we can create a simple counting program:
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
The count loop will repeat a certain amount of times whilst changing a variable. You can click the arrow next to **i** to replace it with any of your own variables. So this program will display numbers 1 to 10.
|
||||
|
||||
This loop allows you to repeat code for the amount of times you want to without worrying about manually changing variables. You could use this for a counting program or a timer.

## Web application
|
||||
|
||||
**https://codethemicrobit.com is an HTML5 web application** that automatically gets cached locally by your browser.
|
||||
Once the web app is loaded and you have compiled at least once, you will have all the code needed to work without an internet connection.
|
||||
|
||||
## Command line interface
|
||||
|
||||
For more experience users, you can download the entire toolchain and use the [command line interface](/cli) (CLI) to compile
|
||||
and deploy your scripts locally. PXT provides a great out-of-the-box experience using [Visual Studio Code](/code),
|

|
||||
|
||||
Use the radio to create an app that sends "YO" messages.
|
||||
|
||||
## Step 1
|
||||
|
||||
Use [on button pressed](/reference/input/on-button-pressed) to send the number "0" over radio.
|
||||
|
||||
```blocks
|
||||
input.onButtonPressed(Button.A, () => {
|
||||
radio.sendNumber(0);
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Step 2
|
||||
|
||||
Use [radio on data received](/reference/radio/on-data-received) display "YO" when the number ``0`` is received
|
||||
by radio.
|
||||
|
||||
```blocks
|
||||
let message = 0;
|
||||
radio.onDataReceived(() => {
|
||||
message = radio.receiveNumber();
|
||||
if (message == 0) {
|
||||
basic.showString("YO")
|
||||
}
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Download the program and **upload the same .hex file to 2 devices!**
|
||||
|
||||
## Step 3
|
||||
|
||||
Use [on button pressed](/reference/input/on-button-pressed) to send the number "1" over radio.
|
||||
|
||||
```blocks
|
||||
input.onButtonPressed(Button.B, () => {
|
||||
radio.sendNumber(1);
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Step 4
|
||||
|
||||
Add blocks in [radio on data received](/reference/radio/on-data-received) to display "BYE" when the number ``1`` is received
|
||||
by radio.
|
||||
|
||||
```blocks
|
||||
let message = 0;
|
||||
radio.onDataReceived(() => {
|
||||
message = radio.receiveNumber();
|
||||
if (message == 0) {
|
||||
basic.showString("YO")
|
||||
}

# Raspberry Pi and Raspbian
|
||||
|
||||
It is possible to run the web editor or [command line interface](/cli) from Raspbian on Raspberry Pi 2 or 3.
|
||||
|
||||
## Web editor
|
||||
|
||||
The web editor requires to install IceWeasel (Firefox) as the built-in browser cannot handle it.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
sudo apt-get install iceweasel
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Once installed simply navigate to https://codethemicrobit.com or type
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
firefox https://codethemicrobit.com
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Command line
|
||||
|
||||
The PXT command line also works on Raspbian and allows to run a local server and/or edit programs from any text editor.

# Game Library
|
||||
|
||||
The game library supports simple single-player time-based games. The player has a **sprite**, number of **lives** and a **score**. The game has a sprite, number of **levels** and a **countdown clock**. The general goal of a game will be to move the sprite and achieve a top score before time runs out or the number of lives goes to zero.
|
||||
|
||||
The code below shows a simple game where the user gets to press the button ``A`` as much times as possible in 10 seconds.
|
||||
|
||||
```blocks
|
||||
input.onButtonPressed(Button.A, () => {
|
||||
game.addScore(1)
