Step 7.2  Making a Step Counter

                            ∑   In Input, drag On shake block.

                            ∑   Use a variable to store the step count.
                            ∑   Each time Micro:bit shakes, increase the count by 1.

                            ∑   Display the step count on the LED screen.






















                            Extra Challenge:

                            ∑   Adjust the sensitivity so that it only counts actual steps.
