Each block represents a different action, such as “show a heart” or “play a
sound,” and can be easily connected to build a program.

Block-based programming helps you quickly see the results of their code,

making it a fun way to learn programming and bring the micro:bit to life.

Overview

In this project different types of icons will
print on display matrix of micro:bit. Micro:bit

having 5 × 5 display matrix where total 25 Leds
are placed so using this display we can print n

numbers of icons. Few icons are already there
in the block code so we can directly use those
icons as well as we can make our own icons.

The Micro:bit LED screen has 25 red LED lights

arranged in a 5 × 5 grid (5 LEDs across by 5
LEDs down).

We can use (x, y) coordinates to specify a particular LED in the grid; where x is
the horizontal position (0,1,2,3,4) and y is the vertical position (0, 1, 2, 3, 4).
