daw9000 | 2:2f72859d7247 | 5 | Using microbit. |
daw9000 | 2:2f72859d7247 | 6 | This program shows the Temperature which can be adjusted up or down to reflect true ambient temperature using B (down) and A (up). |
daw9000 | 2:2f72859d7247 | 7 | Pressing A+B together changes mode from temperature to compass text heading display to compass heading graphic. Pressing A+B will circle around the three |

daw9000 | 2:2f72859d7247 | 9 | Touching pins GND and P0 dims display, GND and P1 brightens display. GND and P2 shows actual device temperature. |

daw9000 | 0:1072edc2281c | 14 | |
daw9000 | 0:1072edc2281c | 15 | The micro:bit runtime provides an easy to use environment for programming the BBC micro:bit in the C/C++ language, written by Lancaster University. It contains device drivers for all the hardware capabilities of the micro:bit, and also a suite of runtime mechanisms to make programming the micro:bit easier and more flexible. These range from control of the LED matrix display to peer-to-peer radio communication and secure Bluetooth Low Energy services. The micro:bit runtime is proudly built on the ARM mbed and Nordic nrf51 platforms. |

daw9000 | 0:1072edc2281c | 17 | In addition to supporting development in C/C++, the runtime is also designed specifically to support higher level languages provided by our partners that target the micro:bit. It is currently used as a support library for all the languages on the BBC www.microbit.co.uk website, including Microsoft Block, Microsoft TouchDevelop, Code Kingdoms JavaScript and Micropython languages. |
