This past Thursday, my partner and I met up one more time to solve the issues in our coding and ultimately complete our project. Previously, we had run into an issue while testing our code. We were able to have our Microbit do what we wanted, but were unable to get it to stop. We had input a command that would cause the device to ring when it was shaken. However, we were unable to find a command that stopped the ringing. It would continuously produce a high pitched noise that was really quite annoying. Finally, I discovered that if we used a melody instead of a ring, we could then use the command “stop melody”.
It worked perfectly! We were even able to test out the code on an actual Microbit. It was very interesting and fun to see how our code could make such a tiny machine do so much. I had a blast experimenting with the Microbit, and found it to be a great opportunity to be creative.
