Getting Started with the micro:bit
The micro:bit, a tiny computer being distributed by the BBC to students all over the UK, is now available for anyone to purchase and play with. Its small size and low power requirements make it an ideal project platform for hobbyists and makers. You don't have to be limited by the web-based programming solutions, however: the hardware on the board is deceptively powerful, and this book will teach you how to really harness the power of the micro:bit. You'll learn about sensors, Bluetooth communications, and embedded operating systems, and along the way you'll develop an understanding of the next big thing in computers: the Internet of Things.
BBC micro:bit Recipes
Build engaging programs for the BBC micro:bit using Microsoft's MakeCode web editor. Using this open source platform, you'll learn to program in an accessible way that easily translates into real-world programming. BBC micro:bit Recipes is a practical guide with a problem-solving approach. It provides exact solutions for common application development problems for the micro:bit using MakeCode. You'll discover and apply techniques that can be used to build simple games with sprites, keep score, and control game play. The micro:bit is a small programmable device that is a cross between a very small computer and a programmable embedded board. It is easy to program, extremely versatile, and designed with young learners in mind. In particular, it is designed to be easy for people who have never programmed before. By the end of this book, you'll have the foundation to build programs with the Microsoft MakeCode editor and use and process data with built-in sensors, such as accelerometer, compass, temperature, touch, and light. You'll also see how to work with communication protocols, such as Serial, I2C, and SPI and how to use variables, loops, logic, arrays, math and functions to easily solve problems. What You'll Learn Display text, images, and animations on the micro:bit display Connect external sensors and process data Make and play music through speakers and headphones Use Bluetooth service to communicate with Smartphones and tablets Who This Book Is For Those who are interested in learning to program the BBC micro:bit with Microsoft MakeCode. The difficulty level falls from beginner to intermediate level.

A new title in the QuestKids(R) children's series that was launched by In Easy Steps in 2018, designed to make learning fun for children First, Coding with BBC micro: bit introduces you to the hardware and software features of the micro: bit, including the built-in microphone, speaker, and touch sensor added in micro: bit version 2. You'll 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, you'll learn to display images and text on the micro: bit's 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 you've mastered these skills, the book guides you through 10 exciting projects, including a temperature sensor, simple interactive games, and even an alarm system! 1. The 99 game 2. Heads or tails 3. Steady hand game 4. Temperature display 5. LED control 6. Trespasser alarm 7. Fortune teller 8. Compass 9. Radio communication 10. Bag alarm Each project has been designed to work with both versions of the micro: bit. You'll 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.
