How can you introduce students to the features of the BBC micro:bit and programming with just the micro:bit itself? The answer is this simple “WhenDo” application, the brainchild of David Whale.
How does it work?
The program allows you to specify an input event I and an output action O using just the A/B buttons of the micro:bit. Together, I and O make up a simple rule:
- When input event I occurs Do output action O
The micro:bit will execute this rule forever until you reset it, so you can create a new rule. Some events and actions use the micro:bit radio, in which case you get to specify the radio group to use. Then you can have multiple micro:bits (in a large group) work together!
