With the micro:bit coming to America, we wanted to share how easy it was to develop for this little board from the BBC. Four programming languages are officially supported by the micro:bit, and we focus on the MakeCode block editor from Microsoft, as it is easily accessible by grade school students and adults alike. In this episode, we show you how to connect your micro:bit and upload a simple program that scrolls "Hello!" across the LED array and displays an image when a button is pressed.

Very interesting.

Would you recommend this to a 9 year old? My son enjoys Scratch and we are looking for more activities he can do while we are in quarantine.

@goeft 4 года назад

Yes! Be sure to use the Scratch extensions with Micro:bit. I've done that in classes with elementary age students 8-12

@IDunnoBM 3 года назад

Yes and if you want to make him learn real coding this would be a fun way to start by learning JavaScript or maybe python! And this is coming from a 10 year old

My micro bit starts at an "introduction" but i cannot leave it and do not know how to fix it

@Crimson_Lycan 7 лет назад

since I'm taking intro to java programming, getting a micro:bit will work out for me... is it compatible with JGrasp?

@shawnhymel7647 7 лет назад

I'm not familiar with JGrasp, but it looks like it requires JVM to run, and that's not supported in the micro:bit.

@Crimson_Lycan 7 лет назад

Shawn Hymel JGrasp is a java software IDE. my class uses it most of the time to learn how to make our own programs. Btw, I go to East Los Angeles College... I guess I can download a program that supports micro:bit...

@shawnhymel7647 7 лет назад

Aaah, got it. I thought it was a type of Java framework. If you can get C++ code out of it, you might be able to copy it over to the mbed online editor to compile it for the micro:bit platform.

I LIKE

@michaelcarroll4832 Год назад

Hi Shawn; How can I get schools in the U.S. to allow me to teach the micro:bit? Do you have any recommendations?

@criccrazehighlights1871 Год назад

if you are a teacher, why cant you approach the principal/committee and try to convince them ?

@adamspears8973 Год назад

We use PLTW, Computer Science for Innovators and Makers.

@HappyHermitt 2 года назад

Is this easier to program than Arduino?

@vshah1010 7 лет назад

I really like the language code part. It uses BASIC and GUI block codes. What about hardware capabilities other than 1 character display?

Nice, you never know where you'll find a Sherlock reference.

If I open start coding it is not opening

@ShawnHymel 6 лет назад

What happens when you click the "Code" button under micro:bit on makecode.org? Also, which browser are you using?

Its better to be OLED display instead of this display

@shawnhymel7647 7 лет назад

Adding 25 LEDs to a PCB is way cheaper than an OLED, so I see why they chose that route. That being said, the micro:bit does have available GPIO. Nothing stopping you from adding your own OLED :)
