About
Welcome to the Microsoft MakeCode editor for the @boardname@!
Programming: Blocks or JavaScript
You can program the @boardname@ using Blocks or JavaScript in your web browser:
input.buttonA.onEvent(ButtonEvent.Click, () => {
light.showRing(`blue blue blue blue blue blue blue blue blue blue`)
})
input.buttonA.onEvent(ButtonEvent.Click, () => {
light.showRing(`blue blue blue blue blue blue blue blue blue blue`)
})
The editor work in most modern browsers, work offline once loaded and do not require any installation.
Compile and Flash: Your Program!
When you have your code ready, you connect your @boardname@ to a computer via a USB cable then press the reset button so it appears as a mounted drive (named CPLAYBOOT).
Compilation to machine code from Blocks or JavaScript happens in the browser. You save the binary program to a .uf2 file, which you then copy to the CPLAYBOOT drive, which flashes the device with the new program.
Simulator: Test Your Code
You can run your code using the micro:bit simulator, all within the confines of a web browser. The simulator has support for the LED screen, buttons, as well as compass, accelerometer, and digital I/O pins.
