Introduction
This tutorial guides you through the process of creating a program using the micro:bit that displays which direction it is pointing. The program utilizes the micro:bit's built-in compass sensor to determine the heading and visually represent it on the device's LED display.
Key Features:
- Step-by-step instructions: Follow clear steps to implement the compass functionality.
- Interactive learning: Use the simulator to visualize changes in compass heading.
- Hands-on coding: Write and test code snippets to display directions (N, E, S, W) based on compass readings.
Use Cases:
- Educational tool: Ideal for teaching programming and electronics concepts in classrooms.
- STEM projects: Perfect for students interested in robotics and sensor applications.
- Fun experiments: Engage learners with practical applications of coding and technology.
