THE BBC micro:bit SOFTWARE
The BBC micro:bit is programmed using a web based (internet
access required) programming environment which is found at
www.microbit.org.
To save programs to access at a later date you will need to be
logged in (although you can create a program without doing this). If
this is the first time you have used your BBC micro:bit then please
refer to our getting started guide at www.kitronik.co.uk/microbit.
All of the experiments in this guide are based on the Microsoft PXT
Block and Microsoft PXT JavaScript editors. The Microsoft PXT
Block Editor is a very easy to use graphical editor. The Microsoft
PXT Javascript editor is a text based programming language which
is ideal for slightly more complex programs. It is possible to convert
a Block program into a JavaScript program. This offers an easy way
to of progressing from Block programming to JavaScript.
