A Blocks / JavaScript code editor for the micro:bit powered by Microsoft MakeCode.

Use your micro:bit to control a Scratch drawing program. This program uses the micro:bit’s accelerometer to guide the pencil sprite around the screen, drawing a line as it moves. Tilting the micro:bit left or right makes the pen to move left or right in the X-axis, across the screen.

In this tutorial, you will learn to use the turtle and draw a square. The turtle starts in the center of the screen heading upward. Place a ||turtle:forward|| block to make it move up. Place a ||turtle:turnRight|| to turn the turtle and place another ||turtle:forward|| block to make it move again.

With micro:bit CreateAI, you can program a micro:bit to recognise and respond to your movements, like clapping, waving, dancing or jumping. You can do this by collecting your data samples, training, testing and improving your own machine learning model, then using it in a Microsoft MakeCode program on your micro:bit.

Jul 15, 2015 · Having the BBC micro:bit as a CAD object is incredibly useful when creating 3D printable (or laser cut-able) case designs. It means you can create your design with the knowledge that when you come to manufacturer the final design the BBC microbit should fit …

We can begin to draw shapes on the micro:bit using an algorithm. For example, we could draw a straight line with this code: Our algorithm is: increase i by 1 from 0 to 4, and plot the point x=i, y=0. The pause block allows this line to be animated (drawn frame by frame).

They learn how to create nature abstractions by taking a nature walk, using art materials and then using the LEDs on micro:bit. They'll develop an understanding of several key computational thinking concepts, including logical reasoning, abstraction, algorithms and evaluation.

Feb 11, 2025 · This is my take on drawing in the micro:bit! This whole thing was inspired by Kernel the LED, but since it was in JavaScript, I couldn’t add other things with it. As I was tinkering using the “game” blocks, I found out that you can recreate Kernel the LED using blocks!

In this session we will explore basic programming concepts using a micro:bit to create a drawing robot. The drawing robot will create geometric shapes using variables and loops. Can you, for example, get the bit:bot to draw several figures of eight one after the other?

In this introduction to coding for the micro:bit, you will learn how to sense and respond to the world around you while looking after yourself. What will I create? Make interactive projects using the sensors, buttons and lights featured on the micro:bit.
