A photoresistor (or light-dependent resistor, LDR, or photocell) is a light-controlled variable resistor. The resistance of a photoresistor decreases with increasing incident light intensity; in other words, it exhibits photoconductivity. …

This is a fairly simple dice throwing game for the micro:bit, in this example you shake the micro:bit and a dice image will be displayed on the LEDs The example …

The neopixel module lets you use Neopixel (WS2812) individually addressable RGB LED strips with the Microbit. Note to use the neopixel module, you need to import it separately with: import …

For the purposes of education and entertainment, the module contains several example tunes that are expressed as Python lists. They can be used like this: import music music.play(music.NYAN) All the …

The BBC micro:bit does not have a dedicated temperature sensor. Instead, the temperature provided is actually the temperature of the silicon die on the main CPU. So not a perfect …

The micro:bit also has a compass (magnetometer), it is a MAG3110 Overview The MAG3110 is a small, low-power digital 3D magnetic sensor with a wide dynamic range to allow operation …

The micro:bit has an accelerometer on board, you can see this in the picture below of the layout of the board For those that are interested it is actually a MMA8653FC …

As the title suggests in this particular example we will show how easy it is to display an image on the Micro:bit LED matrix The Image class also has the …

Another Micropython related board that i will be using, I bought this from Aliexpress The MicroPython pyboard is a compact electronic circuit board which operates MicroPython on the bare metal. …

I always find that pinouts for a board are very useful and refer to them on a regular basic, so I have gathered a few Micropython based boards on this …
