STEP - 10 Select BBC Micro:bit and click on Connect button. The Micro:bit is now
connecting to the computer.

STEP - 11 Click on the Download button to upload the code inside the Micro:bit.

Now you can run your code directly on the device and explore how it works.

If you don’t have a real Micro:bit, you can use the Micro:bit simulator in MakeCode.
It behaves like a real Micro:bit allowing you to test your code, observe the output

and practice your ideas on the screen.

USING PINS FOR CONNECTIONS

The Micro:bit has gold strips along its bottom edge, called pins, which are used to

connect it to external components such as motors, sensors, buzzers and additional
LEDs. These pins allow the Micro:bit to send and receive signals and even provide

power to other devices. There are 25 pins on the edge connector, each designed
for different purposes. These connections make the Micro:bit more powerful and
versatile, allowing students to create real-world projects.

There are two types of pins on the Micro:bit large pins(0, 1, 2, 3V, GND) and small
pins (3 to 22).

Large Pins (0, 1, 2, 3V, GND)

Pin-0 Pin-GND

Pin-1 Pin-2 Pin-3V
