But its not THAT different from setting chip select low to write SPI transfers which I faffed about with getting microbits to talk to Nokia LCD screens. Serial bit banging was the norm, but I wanted to do silly stuff that needed way faster data speeds etc. 'Framing' bits make up a much smaller % tho

Do you not understand game biz? The badder something is the cheap it is for the content maker. Good gamering costs extra microbits.

It's October, and our MTS PD Day event is only three weeks away! Let us continue to introduce our stellar lineup! Please visit buff.ly/aETqrDu to register for the event.

Our fourth feature presentation is "Microbits: Introduction and Advanced Demo" from Justin Critch, Lord Selkirk SD.

I'm afraid John Allison bakes tiny microbits of needed context into every panel. As can be easily demonstrated in just two panels below --

Ready for @fosdem.bsky.social #FOSDEM Junior, yay! This photo looks quite spooky 😀 I have 9 controllers from #KittenBot, #Elecfreaks and not pictured #Kitronik all running #MicroCode 👍

After having experienced the @codejoyedu.bsky.social student show, designers were excited to start to use the same robotics kits as they had seen in the show. #microbits icreateilearn.weebly.com/designing-6-...

Super proud of this team that shared what we are doing as one of our 6th grade units to promote understanding our impact on climate change. We will use it to purchase Forward Education Charges for our #microbits to continue our work. Digital Promise digitalpromise.org/2025/04/16/a...

If you haven't heard of ForwardEducation, they are creating amazing resources to use with #microbits and #sustainableglobalgoals. I can't wait to meet them at #FETC. Check out the Coding for Climate grant - forwardedu.com/pages/coding...

Reposting this because I know there are Micro:bit wizards out there who have had to deal with this. The hot glue thing is messy. What do you do with your microbits and students? #microbit #edusky
jamespburke.com James P. Burke @jamespburke.com · Apr 17
One weakness of Micro:bits I keep encountering is in the power packs. Just the weight of the batteries in normal use can pull the wires out of either end, interrupting my students' work. I am using hot glue to try to solve the problem. Do you have a good solution?

Micro:bit peeps, is there a vendor you use for equipment for building with Micro:bits (like servos and such)? One that is used to taking P.O.s from a school district? #microbits #csforall

Is amazing the number of schools I've been in recently who don't realise they've been sent a free set of BBC Microbits. Especially academy schools where someone else in the trust might have ordered them. Check your cupboards everyone! There might just be a class set lurking there!

Plenty of interaction and interest from the visitors to our event this weekend. President Tim Watson setting out the history of Copenhagen Fields, and one of our junior members explaining the automation using Microbits on Golden Mile.

Hey bud @rcoultart.bsky.social being a total imbecile I took the wrong name of the little guys game so will go to school tomorrow at lunchtime and get the correct one from him in his class, I can be a dozy bugger at times!
We had a good time outside today though with microbits

Who says robotics and coding have to be boring? Tying this into theater and teaching kids how to make creative useful projects that don't resemble boring tin cans has been lots of fun! #woodworking #maker #3dprinting #engineering
Top down view of 7 micro servos inside of green 3d printed cases screwed onto cream colored circular plywood base. Each servo is labeled with a hot pink gaffer tape with the number in black. There are 3 plywood supports around the circular base. Lots of junk and tools like screwdrivers, pens, rulers, awls, plastic bags, washers, red foam petal cutoffs surrounding the circular base on top of a green cutting mat. Side view of the dome bases with plywood supports holding up the top part and Birdbrain Technologies Hummingbird Bit mounted upright. Side view of the servos mounted inside of the dome platform with fish line attached all going up into the hole where there aluminum rod stem has been fitted. Each fish line is labeled with their petal/servo number using various colored washi tape. There is a bottom view of the fallen petals on top of the dome base with the clear plastic dome cover on. A black keyboard is in the background behind this enchanted rose project. Screenshot of the main controller code for the Microbit to signal to the Hummingbird Bits' Microbits to drop the petals. This is done in Microsoft MakeCode. When the code starts, therei s a Petal_Counter variable that starts at 1 for the first petal and displays that number on the microbit. When the user presses button a, the code checks if the Petal_Counter variable is less than or equal to 8 (8 slots for the petals) and then sends that number to the Hummingbird Bit microbits. It increments the counter by one. There is a conditional if statement to skip petal 5 because the hole was too close together and we couldn't fit a petal in without issues. Each Hummingbird Bit can control up to 4 servos, so when the counter goes to 5, it switches to the second Hummingbird Bit. Once the Petal_Counter variable reaches 8, it stops showing the number and shows a smiley face instead. When the user presses button A and B together, it resets the Petal_Counter to 1 and changes back to the first Hummingbird Bit. It displays a checkmark and the user can loop through the petals in case any petal was stuck.

Great weekend in Cambridge getting ideas for all our ninjas. Pilgrimage to the @raspberrypi.com store & then #ClubsCon24 jam packed with fun creativity & the best bunch of people from @raspberrypiorg.bsky.social @coderDojo & @codeclub.bsky.social you could wish to spend time with. Thank you!❤️🖤💚
Four mentors from CoderDojo Banbridge standing outside the Raspberry Pi store and smiling Zoe is giving a presentation to a room full of volunteers and mentors from coding clubs. A diy escape room project that has been made with laser cut boxes, microbits, and a big red buzzer A slide from a presentation showing different ways creativity can spark action on global challenges.

Error'd: Microbits
This week we have got a couple of Mathanon's. Maybe they're the same person, maybe they're not, there's really no way to know! Frist anon has a "Numeric fun fact" for us: "Got a form sent from work to express interest in some event. They actually enforced the validation that the answer must be a number, so I submitted "42"." Bravo. > Next anon has a different numeric fun factor: " The SAS website wants us to know the size of the file behind the link down to the nanobyte precision." They split the bit! That must be what this quantum computing thing is about. > Conscientious dad **Mark R.** takes all the responsibilities. "My kid's school ensures they're legally covered on all things said and unsaid." > **Philipp H.** points out "The Redmond philosophers have created something the old Greek philosophers will have to rethink. Or is this a pun on Schrödinger's Cat? German→English translation: "We cannot bring/transfer/switch you to this message because you're in a chat, in which you're not in."" > We haven't heard from **Michael R.** in a while. Here he is with a pithy "The irony is not lost on me." > Happy Juneteenth to those who celebrate.
