micro:bit Lesson 4. Sensing Light

Learn how to sense light using your micro:bit

I this lesson, you will learn how to measure light with a micro:bit using both its internal sensor and by attaching a few components to breadboard.

micro:bit Lesson 3. NeoPixels with micro:bit

Find out how to use NeoPixels with a micro:bit

This lesson will show you how to connect your micro:bit to a Neopixel Display using JavaScript Blocks, MicroPython and Arduino code.

micro:bit Lesson 2. Controlling LEDs on Breadboard

Blink those LEDs with the BBC micro:bit

In this lesson, you will learn how to connect a micro:bit to solderless breadboard and how to turn an LED on and off. The lesson includes code for MicroPython, JavaScript Block and Arduino.

micro:bit Lesson 1. Using the Built-in Sensors

Learn how to use the micro:bit's built-in accelerometer and magnetometer.

In this lesson, you will learn how to take readings from the micro:bit's built-in sensors using JavaScript Blocks, MicroPython, and Arduino code. You will use the magnetometer to detect a magnet being brought near to the micro:bit.

sino:bit MicroPython

Learn how to run MicroPython on the sino:bit world learning computer!

Learn about a port of MicroPython to the sino:bit, a variant of the BBC micro:bit and Calliope Mini but built for a worldwide audience of learners. Control the sino:bit's big 12x12 LED matrix directly with Python code!

Sino:bit with Arduino

Program your Sino:bit with Arduino!

The Sino:bit is an exciting new educational microcontroller board based on the opensource Calliope Mini and BBC Micro:bit projects, but designed specifically for a Chinese audience. Its features will be exciting for anyone interested or involved in teaching computing using this type of environment.

Micro:bit with Arduino

Program your micro:bit with Arduino!

Did you know that the Arduino IDE can be used to program the micro:bit? Now you have yet another way to use this cool board! Learn how to set up Arduino to program your micro:bit, blink some LEDs, read the internal temperature sensor, send and receive data over Bluetooth - even log data to Adafruit.IO!

Micro:Bit Puppet "Text Message" System!

Build a simple & silly radio communication system with the Micro:Bit!

Build and code a radio communication system that notifies you of incoming messages, for example via automated puppet, and then displays the message on the Micro:Bit LED screen. No prior experience coding or using hardware is necessary. But! As this project involves communication (a two-way street), it’s a project for two or more people. Grab a friend, a micro:bit each, and build it together! Yayy collaboration! :D

BBC micro:bit Lesson #0

The first step in getting familiar with this fun little board.

by Carter Nelson

This guide will go over the various hardware features of the BBC micro:bit and an overview of how to program it.

MicroPython Basics: How to Load MicroPython on a Board

Learn how to load MicroPython firmware on a development board.

This guide explains where to find MicroPython firmware and how to load it on supported boards including the pyboard, ESP8266, WiPy, and BBC micro:bit.
