The main task of this assignment was to create and code a reaction game on the micro:bit. My project was a little different than what the assignment asked for. I did a choice reaction game Which was a little more complicated but was still fun to code. The first thing I did to start coding was to make a variable that would select a random pin and have it be the “correct one”. Then I had to make a “If Then” block and put, “If correct pin is pushed (connected to the ground wire), then show trophy; If incorrect pin is pushed, show X. The way I set mine up was by using LEGO I built 3 “levers” that would spring back up via a rubber band. The LEGO levers connected to a large piece of tin foil that was connected to the ground wire. On each of the levers one of the alligator clips connected to micro:bit was attached so that is one of the levers was pushed down the clip would come in contact with the large piece of ti foil causing the electricity to flow.

For this project I had to create a series of code that would be able to communicate with another micro:bit and tell whether or not you were to close (within six feet). The first thing I did was to try to figure out how to measure distance because the micro:bit does not have a distance sensor on it. Soon my partner and I were able to figure out that we could us the signal strength to tell ho far apart we were. There were some challenges; such as getting to closest number to what is aproximately 6 ft (1.8 m). We made the code to basically say, “If other micro:bit is within 6 ft then show 🙁 “. An extra bit of code we probably could’ve made was for the micro:bit to be able to tell whether or not it was six feet away from any micro:bit “within range”.

This is my turtle art project. It is a plane dropping a bomb onto earth. If you would like to see the project click on this sentence.

My name is Everett. I am a CSAI student at Quest Academy. I am going to be writing about school projects, events, and more. Some of the projects will include micro:bit’s, turtle art, and more. My fun-loving teacher is Mr. Dembo, who knows a lot bout technology coding and all things electronic. I love CSAI because it is fun, I like technology, and it’s a very good skill to learn. I hope you enjoy my posts and code!
