First, Coding with micro:bit introduces you to the hardware and software features of the BBC micro:bit, including the builtin microphone, speaker, and touch sensor added in micro:bit version 2. Youll learn new skills such as how to code your micro:bit to play music, send messages, display pictures, and detect light.Getting started: This section gives you a tour of the micro:bit and gets you started with coding your first program. Basics: Here, youll learn to display images and text on the micro:bits LED grid. Inputs: This section shows you how to work with the input systems on the micro:bit, like the buttons, the accelerometer, and the light sensor.Once youve mastered these skills, the book guides you through 10 exciting projects, including a temperature sensor, simple interactive games, and even an alarm system!The 99 game: This first project is a game of chance that involves throwing the micro:bit among a group of people. Youll learn more about coding, like using variables and control flow techniques. Heads or tails: In this project, youll use the LED grid and accelerometer to create a coin toss generator that detects when you flip your micro:bit, and displays heads or tails. Steady hand game: This game challenges you to hold your micro:bit in your hand as long as you can without wobbling. Youll also learn more about the micro:bits abilities and other fundamental coding techniques. Temperature display: Here, youll use the micro:bits builtin temperature sensor to detect the temperature and scroll it across the LED grid. LED control: In this project, youll learn how to wire up an external LED and control it with code. This exercise teaches you about using the micro:bit with other components so you can build even bigger projects. Trespasser alarm: By connecting a speaker to your micro:bit, youll create an alarm system that detects when someone has broken into your room and alerts you by playing a tune. Fortune teller: This project ramps up the coding complexity, showing you how to program your micro:bit to tell your fortune just like a Magic 8Ball! Compass: Here, youll turn the micro:bit into a real working compass using its builtin magnetometer. Radio communication: In this project youll use two micro:bits to send and receive radio messages. Bag alarm: Using your radio skills from the previous project combined with the accelerometer, youll build a bag alarm with two micro:bits. The first micro:bit stays inside your bag and alerts a second micro:bit in your pocket if someone tries to steal your bag.Each project has been designed to work with both versions of the micro:bit.Youll find Try This sections that suggest other ways for you to try out your new knowledge. These ideas will inspire you to build your own projects with the micro:bit.So whether youre a coding newbie, or you think you know it all, grab your micro:bit and lets get coding!
