Halloween offers the perfect opportunity for some fancy dress fun. In this tutorial, we will show you how this can easily be done using the Kitronik ZIP Halo for the BBC microbit.

Full micro:bit edge connector support has now been added to the MakeCode Arcade editor. To highlight this, Jake from our Dev team has put together a code example to demonstrate the functionality of the micro:bit IO under Makecode Arcade.

The Kitronik LAB:bit for the BBC microbit offers a super fun way for children to learn about coding in an engaging and hands-on way. designed for delivering computing to students aged 8+ and is backed by online MakeCode tutorials, simplified custom blocks, and a detailed getting started guide.

Combining the micro:bit with the SparkFun moto:bit - micro:bit Carrier Board (Qwiic) creates a flexible, low-cost robotics platform for anyone from students getting started with the micro:bit to the engineer looking to quickly prototype or build a proof of concept.

Kitronik allowed me to experience this by allowing me to create an extension for their HaloHD product for the micro:bit. This developed my understanding of different programming languages whilst learning what a job in the industry truly is like.

Plant care has never been so simple!

We are going to look at how we can multitask on the BBC micro:bit with MakeCode. In our example we used the Kitronik HaloHD to visually indicate the micro:bit running two different tasks at the same time.

Learn how to program the micro:bit v2 using Microsoft MakeCode, a drag-and-drop block-based online coding environment.

Atmosphere IoT Studio can help build your own personal robot and control it over any smartphone.

Control your micro:bit attached to an Adafruit CRICKIT board in MicroPython.

Microsoft MakeCode is a block based coding language designed to introduce people to coding.

In this tutorial, we will utilize MakeCode's radio blocks to have one micro:bit transmit a signal to a receiving micro:bit on the same channel.
