BBC micro:bit 27 projects for students: level 3 - MicroPython projects

This book is about the use of the BBC micro:bit computer in practical projects. The BBC micro:bit computer can be programmed using several different programming languages, such as Microsoft Block Editor, Microsoft Touch Develop, MicroPython, and JavaScript.

The highly popular and powerful MicroPython programming language is used in this book. This is a textual script based programming language which is ideal as the third programming tool for the beginners after gaining experience of programming with the simple Block Editor and Touch Develop programming languages. The book covers more than 27 tested and working projects using the MicroPython programming language.

The following are given for each project:

  • Title of the project 
  • Description of the project 
  • Aim of the project 
  • Difficulty level 
  • Program listing 
  • Results 
  • Try for yourself. 

The complete MicroPython programs are given for each project. In addition, the logical operation of the projects are described briefly in each section. Students are encouraged to go through the projects in the order given in the book. Although the book is based on the MicroPython programming language, students should find it easy to move to the other powerful and flexible programming languages such as the JavaScript or C++.
