Here’s a summary of my Python resources and projects for the BBC micro:bit which you may find useful… you’ll need the Mu editor to flash some of these, especially the ones that use the radio module.
- Connect a thermal till roll printer to your micro:bit
- Wireless data logging with hard copy printout
- Wireless 2-player Pong
- Lesson introducing wireless data on the microbit
- Simple wireless microbit Morse code transmitter
- Simple Python Tilty game with sound.
- Kettle Run – Can you do the Kettle Run in less than 12 parsecs? Pilot your craft through canyons of doom to be rewarded with… a lovely cup of tea! A more sophisticated, extendable Python game with sound – plus a hex file you can drag and drop if you don’t want to look at the Python code.
- A possible first Python lesson. I will be trying this out next week!
- Make some noise by attaching noise-making things.
- Is your plant happy? Get physical with the micro:bit, a bit of Python, some nails and a resistor.
- Send and receive secret Morse code messages between two micro:bits using just a couple of bits of wire. Simple way to teach networking, protocols – as well as variables, conditional branching, infinite loops and binary control of GPIO pins.
- Use the micro:bit as a wireless remote data logger.
- …and be sure to read the handling instructions – many micro:bit died to bring us this information.
