Activity (Lower Computational Thinking)

Step 1 : build forever → show number → temperature. ( how to link)

Flash to device (link).

Step 2 : Scavenge Hunt Battery pack on, roam the room. Record on a paper table. Write each number

• by the window,
• near a laptop,
• in a cupped hand,
• on the floor. 4–5 spots write the number each time..

Extension: The micro:bit thinks of temp in Celsius. Convert that reading into Fahrenheit for display and your logs; the micro:To do this, you must be able to make a variable and then implement the conversion formula. Here’s one way: (how to )

Step 1 : Two Numbers 1 Device : button A → temperature, B → light level (how to link)

Two sensors, one device.

Flash once .

Step 2 : Scavenge Hunt Battery pack on, roam the room. Record on a paper table. Log both temperature and light at each spot, and record a second reading at each spot 30 seconds apart to see if it drifts. 4–5 spots

Every microbit has a 2.4 GHZ radio module bulit into the CPU.

Below is demo of what we are going to do in this short tutorial–send a number of radio waves from one microbit to the other:

---

Microbit 1: The Sender

Radio Group. Both microbits must be set to the same group number. I chose the number 5. Just make sure you set that first (on start).

---

Microbit 2: The Receiver

Most common error is not setting the same radio group on both microbits.

How to make a variable and assign it a value

If/else if / else with a variable

Create a variable and set it to a random number:

1. Create the exact diagram below in a new .plan file.
2. add 3 furniture items t the Family room
3. add 2 furniture items to the Dining room
4. Use the dimensions and room names

Some Examples of what people have done before:

 

 

 

 

Step 1) Create a 25, 30  , 40 and 42 MM circles all centered at the orig

Step 2) Add a single circle on the right that has a radius of 35.

 

Step 3) connect centers with construction line. Make sure that the blue lines are coincidental to the circles

tip: if you draw a line , you can use the ‘q’ button to change it to a construction line!

Step 4) Make the blue lines symmetric to the construction line and at a 9 degree angle

Step 5) The center of the circles should be dimensioned to 44:

Step 6)  Each part of the circle on the left should be an extrude. The outermost starts at 10MM, then 15MM, 20, 25 MM:

Step 7) Connect the two end circles with a 2 MM extrude. The right side is 25 MM:

 

 

Step 8)create the variable as shown below:

Step 9)  Add a fillet to all the circles edges. Set its amount to the variable len as shown. This video shows you how to use a variable and then change the variable:

 

 

Workspace Units: MM, use the front plane

Step 1) Create 2 line segments, centered at the origin (as always) and dimension them to 10 MM each

step 2)  These should be angled at 45 degrees

Step 3) Add a 12 and 9 MM segments :

Step 4)  Dimension the 2 angles to 140:

step 5) Connect with a tangent arc

Step 6)  Add a 5 MM symmetric extrude

Step 7)  Fillet the Edge of Extrude 1 in these 3 places:

Step 8)  Final Filletted version:
