In a previous article we looked at the scroll:bit, this is an add on from Pimoroni which contains a lot of LEDs, in fact there are 119 in total in.
MCP9808 digital temperature sensor example using the Arduino IDE The MCP9808 digital temperature sensor converts temperatures between -20°C and +100°C to a digital word with ±0.5°C (max.) accuracy. The MCP9808.
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.
