Getting started
Step 1
Welcome! Place the ||basic:show string|| block in the ||basic:on start|| slot. Replace the "Hello" text with your name. Did you see it scroll?
basic.showString("Micro!")
Step 2
Connect a USB cable to the @boardname@ and click |Download|. Save the program to the @drivename@ drive. This transfers your code to the @boardname@!
Step 3
Well, the text stopped. Place the ||basic:show string|| block in the ||input:on button pressed|| slot to scroll your name when button A is pressed.
input.onButtonPressed(Button.A, () => {
basic.showString("Micro!")
});
Step 4
Click |Download| to save and transfer your code again, then press button A to scroll your text.
Step 5
Place some blocks to display a smiley when button B is pressed.
Use the dropdown to find B!
input.onButtonPressed(Button.B, () => {
basic.showLeds(`
# # . # #
# # . # #
. . . . .
# . . . #
. # # # .
`)
})
Step 6
Place the ||basic:show number|| and ||Math:pick random|| blocks
in an ||input:on shake|| slot to build a dice.
When the @boardname@ is shaken, a random number between 0 and 6 is displayed
on the screen.
input.onGesture(Gesture.Shake, () => {
basic.showNumber(Math.random(7))
})
Step 7
