This 4-part YouTube series walks users through programming the micro:bit using Microsoft’s online MakeCode editor. Several example projects are given, including making a virtual Magic 8 Ball, using a servo to display temperature with a physical gauge, and creating a remote burglar alarm with the accelerometer and Bluetooth radio. The micro:bit was a collaboration between the BBC and several technology companies to create a device to help middle school children dive into programming and electronics. The video series was aimed at giving teachers ideas for classroom projects.
Outside of SparkFun, I created a 2-part series that shows users how to begin programming the micro:bit using MicroPython. The videos are aimed at teachers and hobbyists who wanted to move away from the graphical programming on the micro:bit.
