The BBC micro:bit does not have a dedicated temperature sensor. Instead, the temperature provided is actually the temperature of the silicon die on the main CPU. So not a …

I like the Micro:Bit, its a nice little compact board with plenty of features with a couple of development options such as Python, C++ and block editors. One of the …

The micro:bit also has a compass (magnetometer) The compass has to be calibrated before it can give accurate readings. Calibration involves moving a dot to make a circle on the …

The Image class also has the following built-in instances of itself included as its attributes (the attribute names indicate what the image represents). In this example we will randomly display …

Here we show you how to create a custom image on the led matrix, we use the Mu editor [codesyntax lang=”python”] from microbit import * im = Image(‘99999:90009:90009:90009:99999:’) display.show(im) [/codesyntax] …

Go to the micro:bit web site and follow the hyperlink to Create Code. Choose the Microsoft Block Editor and make a New Project. Look in the Basic section for the …

A simple example using the 2 buttons (a and b), pressing them will display one of the built in images on th 5×5 LED display on the Micro Bit The …

In this example I decided to take a look at one of the Digispark clone boards that are available. These boards are based around the ATtiny85 which have the micronucleus …

In this example we will connect a AM2301 sensor to an Arduino and display the output on an 128×32 I2C OLED display The AM2301  is a wired version of the …
