Micro Bit Projects

Greetings People,

Just got a "Micro Bit" from my cousin for few days and I decided to make a few small projects with this cool British microcontroller.
                                         

The micro bit is really fun to play around with and coding it is easy. The LED matrix behind it can do wonderful things. It would be cool if Arduinos had this kinda LED matrix implemented into them, but I think the best micro bit feature is that you can code your micro bit on your mobile and upload the code to the micro bit via bluetooth. Now that's cool huh?

All these projects are from online and I've given the links for you to try them out

Project 1 - Countdown Timer
This might come in handy during new year's eve!

Project 2 - Step Counter
If you want to count the number of steps you take and since those mobile apps out there are so unreliable, This project will make use of the micro bit to count your steps.



The continuous reciprocating movement of my hand holding the micro bit simulates the movement of the feet and the micro bit's response by increasing the counter by +1 every time i reciprocate my hand.

Project 3 - Bluetooth Projects using Android 
Ever wanted to take a picture from further away or misplaced your phone inside your house and spent hours for searching?
Then you are in luck the micro bit has inbuilt bluetooth and with just an android app you can pair your micro bit with your android and "flash" a program over bluetooth to your micro bit.
The codes for the program are available in the micro bit app itself, developed by Samsung.

All the pairing instructions are in the app itself and the code is in the app also. So, try this out!

I did this myself with no reference from online so I do not have any reliable links for these bluetooth projects
