Examples
5.1
LED
1x micro:bit board
1x micro:bit breadboard adapter
1x breadboard
2x red LED (polarisation: anode (+) = long leg,
cathode (-) = short leg)
2x 100 Ω resistor (brown/black/brown/gold)
In this course, we are going to use micro:bit to make two LEDs
twinkle alternatively.
Place the necessary components on the breadboard as shown.
The programme is written in code blocks, online in the web browser. Open the website
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/makecode?rtc=1
, click the micro:bit icon and click
Start Project
.
The micro:bit code block opens in a new window. Now, we can start composing the code with code blocks,
which we drag and drop from a code drawer to a code editor.
Read below how this works…
