Your BBC micro:bit uses the LEDs to sense the levels of light and lets you program your micro:bit as a light sensor. Watch the video to find out more, then choose one of the projects to turn your micro:bit …

The micro:bit has a number of built-in sensors which include an ambient light sensor, a temperature sensor, an accelerometer, and a compass. In this guide, you will learn the basics on how to use …

You will be able to build and write scripts for a variety of sensor circuits. For more micro:bit applications that include sensors, indicators, and actuators, try these series:

Aug 7, 2025 · PIR sensors are invaluable for detecting motion in various projects, and with the micro:bit’s adaptability, integrating them becomes seamless. Throughout this guide, we’ll …

Once the light on your micro:bit stops flashing, your micro:bit will restart, and your code will run on the micro:bit. You’ll see the value of our moisture variable displayed immediately.

This project uses the micro:bit’s LEDs as a light sensor to measure how much light is falling on the display. Depending on the level, a signal is sent to another micro:bit to trigger an alarm.

We selected components commonly used at home as TMP36 temperature sensor, sound sensor, crash sensor, servo, motor. You can build scene like windowsill, wardrobe and fish tank, create yourself …

If you are teaching selection and sensors, use this guide to introduce micro:bit to your teaching. The projects highlighted below explore the micro:bit’s inputs by using its light and sound sensors, and the …

Students develop their understanding of sensors through unplugged activities and by writing algorithms using repetition and selection. They then apply their understanding to design and evaluate a gadget …

PIR (passive infra red) sensors are commonly used in burglar alarms and office lighting systems to detect movement. You can connect one to a micro:bit's pins (see diagram) to trigger an alarm when …
