That’s it!
Your micro:bit will flash for a few seconds, and then your program will start automatically. Yes! Win!
Note: You may need to disable your ad/pop-up blocker to see the simulated circuit!
Experiment 1: Blinking an LED
Introduction
LEDs are small, powerful lights that are used in many different applications. To start off, we will work on blinking an LED, the basic
introduction of microcontrollers and building circuits. You already did a “Hello World” for the micro:bit itself, this is the next step.
That’s right — it’s as simple as turning a light on and off. It might not seem like much, but establishing this important baseline will
give you a solid foundation as we work toward more complex experiments.
Parts Needed
You will need the following parts:
1x micro:bit
1x Micro B USB Cable
1x micro:bit Breakout (with Headers)
1x Breadboard
1x Jumper Wire
