Description
The micro:bit app is the essential companion to the BBC micro:bit, the pocket sized programmable computer. The app provides online access to a choice of code editors for programming your micro:bit and, when your program is ready, the app beams it to the micro:bit via Bluetooth wireless. Easy-to-follow screens lead you through the process of pairing your iPad (or iPhone) to the micro:bit and then transferring your program code.
Compared with previous versions, the micro:bit app Version 3 contains these additional features:
Pair with any number of micro:bits
Choose which micro:bit is currently connected
Store HEX files in the app
Choose a HEX file for flashing
Export and delete HEX files
Import stored HEX files directly into JavaScript Blocks editor
Rapid download from JavaScript Blocks editor
Monitor data detected by micro:bit sensors
Use the range of micro:bit Bluetooth services in real time
Display messages on the micro:bit LEDs
Send control commands to the micro:bit buttons and pins
De-bug your program code while it is running in the micro:bit
Use a simulated gamepad to send commands to the micro:bit
View camera images ready for taking photos or video
As well as providing more flexible handling of your program scripts and HEX files, a major addition in Version 3 is the Monitor and Control page. This lets you observe real-time data from the micro:bit sensors, send messages directly to the LEDs and control the micro:bit buttons and pins from your iPad or iPhone. Monitor is ideal for exploiting Bluetooth services in real time, and for de-bugging your program code while it is running in the micro:bit.
