Learn to code. Those projects are great at the basics, introducing you to what the micro:bit is, the coding languages that you can use, and how to connect physical inputs and outputs such as LEDs ...

The micro:bit is all about writing code to make things with a physical action. Some simple examples are shown the first time you turn it on. The LEDs spell out instructions for you to complete.

It has taken a long time for the BBC micro:bit to finally reach students in the UK. The device was first announced in 2015, but it has gone through a series of delays that kept pushing its release ...

The micro:bit itself is a pocket-sized programmable computer which is designed to introduce children to coding, opening up a whole world of digital possibilities. Two of the device’s most popular code ...

Playing with the new micro:bit - three MakeCode projects for you to try out. We took part in a coding workshop as the pocket sized computer got an update - see what we made and try them for yourself!

The BBC intends the micro:bit to inspire “a new generation to get creative with coding, programming and digital technology”, in an era when — unlike the 80s — mobile computing devices are ...

The BBC Micro:bit, while not quite as popular in our community as other microcontroller development boards, has a few quirks that can make it a much more interesting piece of hardware to build a ...

We always have mixed feelings about the drag-and-drop programming languages. But we were impressed with [SirDan’s] Morse code decoder built with the graphical MakeCode. Granted, it is reading… ...

On the left we have the main code commands starting with Basic and going down to Devices, clicking through these will give you a good idea of what is possible with the Micro:bit out-of-the-box ...

I explored how the micro:bit v2's new capabilities could be used to play out some hit tunes. Piecing together tone blocks of various lengths, I was able to put together recognisable snippets from ...
