micro:bit
Micro:bit is a peripheral device designed by BBC in UK. Microbit is an open source hardware with 25 LED’S, two programmable buttons, and can be powered by either USB or an external battery pack. Micro:bit has an ARM Cortex-MO processor, accelerometer, compass, magnetometer sensors, Bluetooth and USB connectivity. Micro:bit inputs and outputs are through five ring connectors that form part of a larger 25-pin edge connector.
You can use micro:bit in many ways but first you have to plug the cable with the computer, you should see the small yellow LED on the back of your micro:bit light up and possibly blink a few times, then it means that it have been connected to your computer. So you can use the micro:bit for example in scratch, but we can learn how to use micro:bit in https://microbit.org/. It depends on us whether we use blocks coding, python coding or Javascript coding. But now i am going to tell you about blocks coding, so you can do many things by micro:bit in blocks coding like plant watering, timing gate, watch, robot, stopwatch and many more.
