You could create an adjustable light, ultrasonic automated door and so on. Microsoft MakeCode Compatible ~ A Powerful Programming Platform: MakeCode is a widely-used graphical programming software which allows you to program the micro:bit. You can easily use it through a web browser. Educational Focus With the BitStarter Kit, students will develop open source electronics understanding as well as programming skills. Students must exercise creative thinking and use their hands as they design their own projects, customising functions through graphical programming. Not only can kids build knowledge of the modules and graphical programming, but they can also learn how to create their own DIY projects. This product is suitable for: Maker teachers / DIY hobbyists / upper-primary, lower-high school students / micro:bit users/ homeschooling educators Projects Music Player Make a simple music player with the onboard buzzer of the BitMaker Lite. Ultrasonic Distance Sensor Using the Ultrasonic sensor, set a specific distance to determine when something is near or far, and show a loveheart when an object is nearby, and a sleepy face when the object is far away. Steering Servo Control Buttons A and B on the micro:bit are pressed, to represent turn left or turn right. The LED display will show left and right arrows correspondingly, while the servo will rotate left, and right. Can be used for a DIY car gate project. Sliding melody controller Change the broadcasted music depending on the position of the slide control, LED display animates correspondingly to show different patterns. Sliding servo control Use the slide potentiometer to control the servo rotation, this configuration is commonly used in robotic arm projects.
