'''Coding'''<br>
So now let's move to coding. Let us see how we can code the LED flash. Below are some steps to follow.<br>
Open the https://makecode.micro:bit.org/#editor to write your code. <br>
Microsoft MakeCode is actually a platform that allows us to code for a micro:bit, and also provides an interactive simulator where we can debug and run our code, and will be able to see what to expect out right there on the site.<br>
Go to MakeCode and choose '''My Projects''' and click on '''New Projects'''.<br>
If you want to see the codes behind, then you can click on JavaScript and it will display JavaScript code there in IDE.<br>
[[File:02456图片26.png|700px|frameless]]<br>
'''LED Flash''' <br>
Let's get started and code the LED flash. To do so, you just need to go to <span style="color:Blue">Basic</span> and scroll down to see an <span style="color:Blue">on start</span> block. <br>
Now drag and drop, and go to <span style="color:Purple">Led</span> and click <span style="color:Purple">more</span> to drag out the block <span style="color:Purple">led enable(false)</span> into <span style="color:Purple">on start</span> block.<br>
[[File:0456=3.png|700px|frameless]]<br>
And again go to <span style="color:Blue">Basic</span> and drag the <span style="color:Blue">forever</span> block beneath the on start block you just made.<br>
Go to the <span style="color:Red">Pins</span>, drag and drop the <span style="color:Red">digital write pin(P0) to (0)</span> block into  <span style="color:Blue">forever</span> block.<br>
[[File:0456=4.png|700px|frameless]]<br>
<span style="color:Red">Look back at the connection diagram, we connect the signal pin to P0</span>. So we select the '''P0''' in the code; and change the 0 to '''1''', which means input a '''HIGH''' level to the pin so as to '''lit''' the LED.<br>
[[File:0456=5.png|700px|frameless]]<br>
Then we can duplicate the block and change the value to '''0''', means input a '''LOW''' level to the pin to '''turn off''' the LED.<br>
If we want to make the LED keep ON for a few seconds, able to add a <span style="color:Blue">pause (ms)</span> block. This delay period is in milliseconds, so if you want the LED display as fast, change the value, try 500ms.<br>
[[File:0456=6.png|700px|frameless]]<br>

<br>
'''RGB LED Flash''' <br>
Let's get started and code RGB LED shine three colors. To do so, you just need to go to <span style="color:Blue">Basic</span> and scroll down to see an <span style="color:Blue">on start</span> block. <br>
Now drag and drop, and go to <span style="color:Purple">Led</span> and click <span style="color:Purple">more</span> to drag out the block <span style="color:Purple">led enable(false)</span> into <span style="color:Blue">on start</span> block.<br>
[[File:0456=3.png|700px|frameless]]<br>
<br>
Go to the <span style="color:Red">Pins</span>, drag and drop the <span style="color:Red">analog write pin(P0) to (1023)</span> block into  <span style="color:Red">forever</span> block. Duplicate this block twice, and change the pin to <span style="color:Red">P1, P2</span>.<br>
<span style="color:Blue">Look at the connection diagram, '''we separately connect the Red,Green, Blue pin to P1, P2, P0. Connect the V pin to 3.3V'''</span>.<br>
So we first set all the pin value to 1023, which means input a '''HIGH''' level 3.3V (no voltage difference) to '''turn off''' all the LEDs;
<br>[[File:0456=15.png|500px|frameless]]<br>
<br>
And again go to <span style="color:Blue">Basic</span> and drag the <span style="color:Blue">forever</span> block beneath the on start block you just made.<br> 
We duplicate and drag the <span style="color:Red">analog write pin(P0) to (1023)</span>  block into the  <span style="color:Blue">forever</span>  block. Change the P0 value to 0, which means input a '''LOW''' level (0V)(with voltage difference) so as to '''lit''' the Blue LED.<br>
Add a <span style="color:Blue">pause</span>  block in millisecond; and then duplicate the <span style="color:Red">analog write pin(P0) to (1023)</span> block several times.<br>
<br>
We first turn on the Blue LED (P0) for 1 second then off, followed by turn Red LED (P1) on for 1 second then off; and turn Green LED (P2) on for 1 second then off.<br>
[[File:0456=16.png|500px|frameless]]<br>
<br>
Now let's move on code the program we’ve written. Go to make the RGB led change in different brightness. <br>
Go to <span style="color:Green">Loops</span>, drag and drop the <span style="color:Green">repeat()times do()</span> block into the block just made. Repeat 1 times.<br>
[[File:0456=17.png|500px|frameless]]<br>
<br>
Then we drag the block <span style="color:Green">for (index) from 0 to (4) do</span> into the <span style="color:Green">repeat()times do()</span> block; and set to the variable '''val''' from 0 to '''512'''.<br>
[[File:0456=18.png|700px|frameless]]<br>
<br>
After that, duplicate the <span style="color:Red">analog write pin</span> block three times; then call the <span style="color:Red">Variables</span> and <span style="color:Purple">Math</span> block.<br>
[[File:0456=19.png|700px|frameless]]<br>
[[File:0456=20.png|700px|frameless]]<br>
<br>
Using the variables adjust the RGB color-ratio to make the color change.<br>
[[File:0456=21.png|700px|frameless]]<br>
<br>
Finally we duplicate and set the <span style="color:Red">analog write pin 2, 1, 0</span> value to 1023, which means input a '''HIGH''' level (no voltage difference) to '''turn off''' all the LEDs. <br>
<br>
You can click on '''JavaScript''' and it will display JavaScript code there in IDE.<br>

Getting Started with Micro:bit Projects


The BBC micro:bit is a tiny programmable computer designed to make learning and teaching easy and fun!
Combine the micro:bit main board, keyestudio Edge Connector IO Breakout Board for micro:bit, and other sensor modules to make your own micro:bit projects. Looking to discover more coding projects for micro:bit.

Project 1: Hello

Overview
This project is very simple. You can use only a micro:bit main board and a USB cable to display the “Hello!”. This is an entry experiment for you to enter the programming world of micro:bit.


Components:

  • Micro:bit main board*1
  • USB cable*1


Pre-Test:
So let's test our micro:bit before programming it. There are two ways to test your micro:bit.

  • 1.via USB cable: You can test your micro:bit just to see if it is working fine or not. To do so connect your micro:bit to your computer via USB cable and wait for a second your micro:bit will display "HELLO" by blinking LEDs. If it does, then it is working fine.
  • 2.via Battery Connector: Insert batteries into battery box and connect your micro:bit via power pins and then see if it's displaying "HELLO". If it does, then it is working fine.


thumb


Coding
So now let's move to coding. Let us see how we can code and display "Hello" manually. Below are some steps to follow.
1. Open the https://makecode.micro:bit.org/#editor to write your code. Microsoft MakeCode is actually a platform that allows us to code for a micro:bit, and also provides an interactive simulator where we can debug and run our code, and will be able to see what to expect out right there on the site.


Go to MakeCode and choose My Projects and click on New Projects.

thumb


After this, you will see the following screen. As we can see that there is one micro:bit simulator, which will show the output instantly when we will finish writing our code.


2.Tools
We can see that there are different tools to program the micro:bit just next to simulator. It is quite easy to program by dragging and dropping the blocks, and if you want to see the codes behind, then you can click on JavaScript and it will display JavaScript code there in IDE.

thumb


3.Display "Hello,world!"
Let's get started and display "Hello, KEYESTUDIO!" on our micro:bit. To do so, you just need to go to Basic and scroll down to see an on start block.
Now drag and drop, and go to Led and click more to drag the block led enable(True) out;
And again go to Basic and search for the show string <hello> block. That's all; now you will see HELLO on your simulator.

thumb


After completing this step micro:bit will restart itself and run the code. It will display "HELLO" there on the simulator. Quite easy? Yeah, quite easy. So let's move on and code for the rest.
Now drag and drop, and again go to Basic and search for the show string <hello> block; change the word to KEYESTUDIO and add a pause block in milliseconds.
thumb


That's all for the coding part.
Name and download your program that you have written.
thumb


Run Code on Micro:bit
Now let us see how to run our code on the actual Micro:bit.

  • Plug in the Micro:bit to a computer via USB.
  • After plugging in, you should see Micro:bit drive on your computer.


thumb


Now go to your download folder and right-click to send the downloaded microbit Hex file to your micro:bit main board.
Now wait for a second for Micro:bit to restart, and it will start displaying output automatically.

And again go to Basic and drag the forever block beneath the on start block you just made.
Go to the Pins, drag and drop the digital write pin(P0) to (0) block into forever block.
0456=4.png
Look back at the connection diagram, we connect the signal pin to P0. So we select the P0 in the code; and change the 0 to 1, which means input a HIGH level to the pin so as to lit the LED.
0456=5.png
Then we can duplicate the block and change the value to 0, means input a LOW level to the pin to turn off the LED.

If we want to make the LED keep ON for a few seconds, able to add a pause (ms) block. This delay period is in milliseconds, so if you want the LED display as fast, change the value, try 500ms.

RGB LED Flash
Let's get started and code RGB LED shine three colors. To do so, you just need to go to Basic and scroll down to see an on start block.
Now drag and drop, and go to Led and click more to drag out the block led enable(false) into on start block.
0456=3.png


Go to the Pins, drag and drop the analog write pin(P0) to (1023) block into forever block. Duplicate this block twice, and change the pin to P1, P2.
Look at the connection diagram, we separately connect the Red,Green, Blue pin to P1, P2, P0. Connect the V pin to 3.3V.
So we first set all the pin value to 1023, which means input a HIGH level 3.3V (no voltage difference) to turn off all the LEDs;
0456=15.png

And again go to Basic and drag the forever block beneath the on start block you just made.
We duplicate and drag the analog write pin(P0) to (1023) block into the forever block. Change the P0 value to 0, which means input a LOW level (0V)(with voltage difference) so as to lit the Blue LED.
Add a pause block in millisecond; and then duplicate the analog write pin(P0) to (1023) block several times.

We first turn on the Blue LED (P0) for 1 second then off, followed by turn Red LED (P1) on for 1 second then off; and turn Green LED (P2) on for 1 second then off.
0456=16.png

Now let's move on code the program we’ve written. Go to make the RGB led change in different brightness.
Go to Loops, drag and drop the repeat()times do() block into the block just made. Repeat 1 times.
0456=17.png

Then we drag the block for (index) from 0 to (4) do into the repeat()times do() block; and set to the variable val from 0 to 512.
0456=18.png

After that, duplicate the analog write pin block three times; then call the Variables and Math block.
0456=19.png
0456=20.png

Using the variables adjust the RGB color-ratio to make the color change.
0456=21.png

Finally we duplicate and set the analog write pin 2, 1, 0 value to 1023, which means input a HIGH level (no voltage difference) to turn off all the LEDs.

You can click on JavaScript and it will display JavaScript code there in IDE.
