EPM.4 : Thermometer: Math Blocks
First, use the Thermometer Tutorial to see how to code the Micro:Bit so it can tell you the temperature of its surroundings. MATH: Get your code to show Fahrenheit, you need to use the Math blocks. The equation to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit is easily Google-able. Hint: Round blocks can fit inside of round holes.

EPM.5 : Step Counter: Intro to Acceleration
Follow the instructions in the Step Counter Tutorial and complete Step 1 and Step 2 of the tutorial.
Follow the instructions in the Step Counter Tutorial and complete Step 1 and Step 2 of the tutorial.
Then, code the Micro.Bit to show some sort of visual symbol when your "step" count reaches 20, then resets itself to 0 and starts the count all over again. Use a USB battery pack to power the Micro.bit while it is on your shoe.
To earn credit for this assignment, submit a video showing your Micro.Bit counting the "steps" you take, showing its symbol at 20, and restarting its count again.

EPM.9 : Neopixel
Use this tutorial here to learn how to connect and program a Neopixel.
To earn credit for this module: Record a video that shows your CODE and the Micro.Bit executing that code as the Micro:Bit does this:
The color of the Neopixel responds to the changing value of different inputs. A minimum of 2 different TYPES of inputs must be used. This means if you use Button A for one of your inputs, you can’t use Button B for the other one.
EPM.10 : DC Motor
Your challenge is to write a program that uses one of these inputs to control the speed of the DC motor.
Your challenge is to write a program that uses one of these inputs to control the speed of the DC motor.
Inputs you can use: Light Level, Acceleration (x, y, z) (NO you can’t use Shake or one of the predefined inputs), Temperature, buttons, etc.
Inputs you can use: Light Level, Acceleration (x, y, z) (NO you can’t use Shake or one of the predefined inputs), Temperature, buttons, etc.
To earn credit for this you must submit a video showing the code AND the DC motor changing its speed relative to the variable’s value.

EPM.14 : Combo Challenge: Remote Control Servo
Using the tutorials above and your newly gained knowledge, use 2 Micro.bits to achieve the following: When a person clicks the A button on the "remote" Micro.bit, a 2nd Micro.bit recieves a radio signal that makes it move the servo 90 degrees. When the B button is pushed on the remote, the servo moves 90 degrees the other direction.
