Micro:Bit

The Micro:Bit is a computer because it takes input, processes data, stores data and outputs it. We made a program where if you press a specific button it will show your name. We also made another program where if you also press different buttons, different emotions will appear.

We made a micro:bit compass. The input is the direction of the micro:bit read by the compass sensor and the output is the micro:bit displaying the direction. One error I had was making the direction north, but one of my friends showed me my mistake.

We made our Micro:bit have a light sensor plus hacked headphones to play different sounds at certain light levels. The input to this project was the light sensor it had and the output was the LEDs showing the light level and the sounds that it produced with the different light levels.

Randy and I made a game named headbandz! This is a game where one person does a charade and another person guesses the object you are acting out. I made the actual headband and Randy did the wrist control. We chose this project because we were curious with what coding went into this project since it included radio signals. A difficulty we had was finding out how to do the tutorial code and adapt it with radio signals. We overcame this obstacle by by remaking the code completely. If we had more time we would of made more charades to act out. Credit to Conner for making our video.

I thought micro:bits are very inventive with everything you can do with them. I really liked this project because it challenged us in various ways. Micro:bits can sometimes be a pain, but in the end, they are amazing!
