Unit #2-02

Learning Outcome

At the end of this lesson, you will be able to:

• create the "Hello, World!" program on the Micro:Bit

Review

• MakeCode Micro:bit and GitHub

Lesson

• go over how to connect and move code over to a Micro:Bit

  • your code is actually "compiled" and then transferred over to the Micro:bit as a *.hex file

Activity

• watch this video, "What is the BBC micro:bit - Gary explains"

• connect your Micro:bit to your computer's USB drive

  • it should show up like a USB drive

Daily Assignment

• click on provided link to create a new GitHub repo

  • call the repo: TEJ2O.1-Unit2-02

  • open MakeCode Micro:bit and "import" this new repo

  • change the displayed text to the school name

  • update the date & comment to be from you

  • ENUSRE you changes the name of the project as well

  • ENSURE you change the README.md file as well

  • save changes back to GitHub

    • ensure changes have been made

    • ENSURE the Linting GitHub Action ran with no errors

• now move your program over to the Micro:bit and ensure it is working on the physical device

  • when filling out the Google Doc, paste you code in and a picture of your Micro:bit running

• see the example document to know what to submit → Jane Smith - TEJ2O - Unit2-02.pdf (see file below: ↓)

Extra

• do the same "Hello, World!" program but in MicroPython for the Micro:bit

• when filling out the Google Doc, paste you code in and a picture of your Micro:bit running

• ensure you save your code back to GitHub
