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 […]
