### Challenge 0
|
||
|
||
You have successfully following the [blink tutorial](/microbit/hcwxud). If not, then let's start the tutorial now. Your micro:bit script should start by displaying a blinking script on screen. We want to plot the x and y coordinates to 2, 2. Additionally, you will pause by 100 milliseconds then clear the screen of the micro:bit.
|
||
|
||
Let's give it a go!
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
while (true) {
|
||
led.plot(2, 2)
|
||
basic.pause(200)
|
||
basic.clearScreen()
|
||
basic.pause(200)
|
||
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Challenge 1
|
||
|
||
Make a `>` greater than symbol. Start in the upper left corner of the simulator when you plot coordinates. Make sure to add the line of code `led->plot (0,0)` under the last line of code
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
while (true) {
|
||
led1.plot(2, 2)
|
||
basic1.pause(200)
|
||
basic1.clearScreen()
|
||
basic1.pause(200)
|
||
led1.plot(0, 0) // ***
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Design the top half of the `>` symbol by connecting a LED to the original center coordinate `2,2` and the upper left coordinate `0,0` Make sure to add the line of code `led->plot (1,1)` under the last line of code
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
while (true) {
|
||
led2.plot(2, 2)
|
||
basic2.pause(200)
|
||
basic2.clearScreen()
|
||
basic2.pause(200)
|
||
led2.plot(0, 0)
|
||
led2.plot(1, 1) // ***
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Awesome! You have designed half of the `>` symbol. Now we should finish the lower half of the `>` symbol
|
||
|
||
* tap the `run` button to view the updated script on the simulator
|
||
|
||
Add the bottom half of the `>` symbol by plotting the most bottom - left LED first. Make sure to add the line of code `led->plot (0,5)`
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
while (true) {
|
||
led3.plot(2, 2)
|
||
basic3.pause(200)
|
||
basic3.clearScreen()
|
||
basic3.pause(200)
|
||
led3.plot(0, 0)
|
||
led3.plot(1, 1)
|
||
led3.plot(0, 4) // ***
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Awesome! Now we must connect a LED to the original center coordinate `2,2` and the lower left coordinate `0,5` Make sure to add the line of code `led->plot (1,4)`
|
||
|
||
Your `main` function should look like this:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
while (true) {
|
||
led4.plot(2, 2)
|
||
basic4.pause(200)
|
||
basic4.clearScreen()
|
||
basic4.pause(200)
|
||
led4.plot(0, 0)
|
||
led4.plot(1, 1)
|
||
led4.plot(0, 4)
|
||
led4.plot(1, 3) // ***
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
* `run` the script and see that the program works as expected
|
||
|
||
Congratulations! You made a `>` symbol.
|
||
|
||
### Challenge 2
|
||
|
||
Use `led->plot` to create a exclamation design `!` Your `main` function should look like this. (notice the notation of `...` represents previous code in **Challenge 0** and **Challenge 1**
|
||
|
||
Make sure to add these lines of code within the `while` loop
|
||
|
||
Your `main` function should look like this:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
while (true) {
|
||
// ...
|
||
led5.plot(4, 0) // ***
|
||
led5.plot(4, 1) // ***
|
||
led5.plot(4, 2) // ***
|
||
led5.plot(4, 4) // ***
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
* run the code and see that it works as expected.
|
||
|
||
### Challenge 3
|
||
|
||
Use the same logic `led->plot` to turn on all the LED lights!!!
|
||
|
||
* run the code and see that it works as expected
