micro:bit target for PXT
This target allow to program a BBC micro:bit using PXT (Microsoft Programming Experience Toolkit).
Local server
The local server allows to run the editor and the documentation from your computer.

The following commands are a 1-time setup after synching the repo on your machine.
- if not yet installed, install Node.js 4.4.5 or higher
- clone this repo to your computer and go in the project folder
git clone https://github.com/microsoft/pxt-microbit
cd pxt-microbit
- install the PXT command line (add
sudo
for Mac/Linux shells).
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

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 thecodethemicrobit
project.
Testing
The build automatically runs the following:
- make sure the built-in packages compile
pxt run
inlibs/lang-test*
- this will run the test in command line runner; there is a number of asserts in both of thesepxt testdir
intests
- 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
inlibs/lang-test*
- they should show1
or2
on the screen (and not unhappy face) - run
pxt testdir
intests
and deploy some of the hex files fromtests/built
The lang-test0
source comes from the pxt-core
package. It's also tested with pxt run
there.
