Lesson 14 Ambient Light Introduction In one of our previous lessons “Lesson 04: Photocell”, we connected a photocell externally to sense the light. Actually, the micro:bit has an integrated light detection device internally. Today we are going to use that internal light sensor to do an experiment. We will light the rainbow LED ring when […]
Lesson 13 Compass Introduction Do you know what a compass is? I believe most of you have played with a compass. Today we are going to use the micro:bit to create a compass and display its direction on the Rainbow ring. What you need micro:bit board Micro USB Cable micro:bit breadboard adaptor Breadboard LED x2 […]
Lesson 12 Accelerometer Introduction Micro:bit has integrated multiple sensors including accelerometer. Today, we are going to use accelerometer to make an level device and display the inclination on NeoPixel ring in bar chart format. What you need micro:bit board Micro USB Cable micro:bit breadboard adaptor Breadboard 8 RGB LED NeoPixel Ring Male to male jumper […]
Lesson 11 Rainbow LED Introduction 8 RGB Rainbow LED Ring is based on ws2812b LEDs. Its biggest characteristic is single IO control and infinite cascade connection. In this experiment, we are going to use micro:bit to drive 8 RGB Rainbow LED Ring and create rainbow color gradual change. Component List micro:bit board Micro USB Cable […]
Lesson 10 Motor Introduction Motor is a kind of device, which can transfer electric energy into kinetic energy according to the law in electromagnetic induction. In this experiment, we are going to use a switch to control the start and stop of a motor. What you need micro:bit board Micro USB Cable micro:bit breadboard adaptor […]
Lesson 09 Buzzer Introduction Buzzer is a kind of electronic sound receiver with integrated structure. It is widely used as a sound device in electronic products like computers, printers, copying machines, alarm apparatus, electronic toys, auto electronic devices, telephones, etc. In this experiment, we are going to use the micro:bit to drive a buzzer and […]
Lesson 08 Servo Introduction Servo is a kind of driver for position (angle) servo. It is suitable to control systems with constant angle change and can remain in its position. In this experiment, we are going to use the micro:bit to make a servo rotate circularly within a travel range. What you need micro:bit board […]
Lesson 07 Temperature Sensor Introduction Temperature sensor is a kind of sensor that can detect temperature and transfer it into output data. Temperature sensor is the core component of temperature gauges and instruments that you see in many devices. It has multiple applications. In this experiment, we are going to learn about the analog temperature […]
Lesson 06 Self-lock Switch Introduction Self-lock switch is a kind of common button switch. When we press its button for the first time, the switch is connected and remains in that status, which is called “self-lock”. When we press the button for the second time, the switch is disconnected. At the same time, the button […]
