Jeff's notes on getting started with microbit.

Note - we assume you are already familiar with Scratch.  If not, see -
  http://cs.indstate.edu/~jkinne/cs151-s2020/code/LECTURES/kinne_scratch.txt

Start with checking out some tutorials - https://makecode.microbit.org/

An example similar to what we have done in Python -

Some examples of classic beginning microbit programs -

Note that your makecode.microbit programs are saved in your browser's cache.  If you want to keep them longer term, you can (a) download the project, and/or (b) click the publish button and save the URL that is created (and presumably these will be available for a while, but likely not forever).

Assignment h9, part 3
Choose from one of the following to complete -
* Count up by - program should count by ones starting at 0 by default, if switch A is pressed then switch to counting by 5's starting at 0, and if switch B is pressed switch to counting by 2's.

* Coin flipper - on each press of A, flip a coin (pick randomly 0 or 1).  keep track of the total # of head's and tail's.  on press of B, display the total # of head's and the total # of tail's.

* Animation - some other animation that the example above, you pick, make it mildly fun to just watch.

* Temperature alarm - assume that if the temperature sensor is pressed against a patient's forehead, then a normal forehead temperature on a microbit is 32 to 35 celsius.  check the temperature forever, display the temperature, and if it is above 35 flash an up arrow, and if it is below 32 flash a down arrow.

* Anything else of similar difficulty, hopefully something you think is interesting!

Assignment h9, part 4
Explore the examples, tutorials, and courses at https://makecode.microbit.org/ and choose one to further explore.  You should make the program and save the project with the program working.  Next make some modification to the program and save that as a separate project.
