Freescale’s MAG3110 is a small, low-power, digital 3-axis magnetometer. The device can be used in conjunction with a 3-axis accelerometer to realize an orientation independent electronic compass that can provide …

You can now use the Arduino IDE to develop and program your Micro:Bit, in my view thats a good thing to add this support as its a popular development tool …

In this next example using the block editor we will use the accelerometer that is on the Micro:bit board  to detect when the micro:bit is being shaken, if it is …

The pins on your Micro:bit that are labelled 0, 1 and 2 can be used as touch inputs. To do this you need to touch the ground pin with one …

I bought an Espruino board  while back because it allowed you to code in JavaScript using a neat chrome add on – a web ide and then flash your device …

We will look at how you can use C++ to write programs for your Micro:bit, there is an online compiler you use and we will show you how to access …

A force-sensing resistor is a material whose resistance changes when a force or pressure is applied. Force-sensing resistors consist of a conductive polymer, which changes resistance in a predictable manner …

In this example we will create a VB.net program that will read data from the serial port, in this case a Microbit connected to the PC. We will then upload …

This example melds together our Microbit and an AD keypad and our Microbit built in tunes and allows you to play a different tune based on a key being pressed We only selected 9 …
