Extra Challenge:
∑ Create a Theremin using the light sensor to change pitch based on brightness.
∑ Use loops to make continuous music.
Step 7 Using the Accelerometer in Micro:bit
What is an Accelerometer?
An accelerometer is a sensor that detects motion, tilt, and shaking.
Step 7.1 Making a Dice with Micro:bit
∑ In Input, add On shake block.
∑ Inside it, add a Show Number block from Basic.
∑ Use Pick Random block from Math (set range 1-6).
∑ Test the dice by shaking the Micro:bit!
Extra Challenge:
∑ Use LED patterns to display dots instead of numbers.
