MAKER WITH MICRO:BIT CHAPTER
learning outcomes
understand the basics of using Micro:bit sensors for step tracking.
apply block-based programming concepts in MakeCode.
utilise the accelerometer to detect motion and count steps.
create a step tracking project using MakeCode.
implement variables and event handling for interactive applications.
INTRODUCTION TO STEP TRACKING AND MICRO:BIT SENSORS
In this chapter, you will explore how to create a step-tracking system using the Microsoft
MakeCode Micro:bit. The Micro:bit is equipped with an accelerometer sensor that helps
detect movement, making it an ideal tool for building a simple pedometer. By using event
handling, variables, and data display techniques, we can design an effective step-tracking
system.
