The MMA8653FC is an intelligent, low-power, three-axis, capacitive micromachined accelerometer with 10 bits of resolution. This accelerometer is packed with embedded functions with flexible user-programmable options, configurable to two interrupt pins. Embedded interrupt functions enable overall power savings, by relieving the host processor from continuously...

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 shaken we will display a number between 1 and 6 on the LED's, similar to...
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 this and show a simple program Process Visit developer.mbed.org and create an account, its free...
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.
