Code samples for the BBC micro:bit

I got a micro:bit for reviewing an add-on called wear:it, while doing the review I created some small programs, which you can find in the src folder of this repository.

The review can be found here: micro:bit wear:it Development Kit - Review

The API reference I used for creating these programs can be found here: BBC micro:bit MicroPython

Some recommendations

• Use mu-editor for uploading the code to the micro:bit but programming on it is not as nice as programming in PyCharm (which shows you syntax error for example), so what I kept doing was programming in PyCharm and only using mu-editor to flash my program into the micro:bit.
• Use microrepl for quickly testing code snippets. When testing how a module from the API works, instead of flashing your program into the micro:bit you can use microrepl which speeds the testing process.

Source contents

• doggy-music. Can be attached to a dog's costume to play music when the dog sits for a picture, and stops when the dog stands up or is walking. Check the dog costume here.

• beating-heart. Shows a heart in the micro:bit's display and change its intensity back and forth, so it looks like it's beating.

• sound-wave. Shows an animation that resembles a sound-wave.
