                                         Now that you know about Makecode, let us learn how to
                                         control the LEDs on the left side of the panel.




                  ADVANCED BLOCKS OF MAKECODE

                  Makecode has some of the advanced blocks required to code the microbit. Let us take some of
                  these blocks.



                  LED Blocks

                  These blocks are primarily used to control the micro:bit LED display.



                                  This block is used to light up the LED, whose coordinates are mentioned. The values
                  of x and y range from 0 to 4.



                                   This block is used to turn off the LED, whose coordinates are mentioned. The values
                  of x and y range from 0 to 4.




                                   This block is used to change the brightness of the LEDs.



                  RADIO Blocks

                  These blocks are to send and receive data using radio packets to other micro:bits.


                                       This block is used to broadcast a number to other micro:bits that are connected
                                      to the radio.


                                       This block is used to send a string of up to 19 characters to other micro:bits
                                     connected to the radio.


                                         This block asks the micro:bit to run part of a program when it receives a
                                       string over the radio.
