Today I have made a @microbit.org into a remote control for another micro:bit. This is a great project with soo many possibilities for outputs once you know how to send signals between micro:bits. Full tutorial on YouTube.

Thought I'd share my @microbit.org Christmas Tree πŸŽ„ again this year. I have used some cheap LEDs, crocodile clips and card to create this. The pins are then programed to flash the LEDs in a sequence

You will find a full lesson for this here: mrmorrison.co.uk/microbit/christmas

If you are looking for something different to do for Halloween πŸŽƒπŸ‘» this week I have made a tutorial to create a spooky track in GarageBand (on an iPad). I would say learners of P4 (Age 8) upwards would be able to create a track like this example.

My @microbit.org project today is a noise meter..πŸ”Š. This displays a graph of noise level input from the microphone on the micro:bit. It then sounds an alarm if the noise gets too high.
