It heroes - Micro-bit Reflection

IT Heroes - a Micro bit

\13/06/2018
Today in IT heroes, Sam and I continued in making our soccer field micro bit activity. While sam started with making the template for the other goal I coded the micro-bits and we started thinking about how we are going to do the circuits  and how we are going to make it so that the ball will have a big enough impact to hit the net(piece of cardboard) which will hit the back of the goal and trigger the scoreboard to change. To complete our soccer field we will just need to complete the circuit part of it and figure out where to put the crocodile clips. We will need to get a buzzer and some tin foil and once we have those we will be able to complete the activity and have a fully functional micro-bit soccer field.


Micro Bit Challenge - Coding


This is my code for my micro bit point system for my micro bit football activity,
The purpose of the Forever block is for the code to go on forever, it is the forever loop so the code will repeat itself everytime its triggered so in this case, the  game can go to whatever score you desire, the forever block is great for when you want the code to repeat itself or for it to work forever.

One skill I think I have learned was how to work a buzzer, for Sams and I's football field we needed the buzzer to work whenever a point is scored so I figured out how to set up the wires properly so the goals will work, now I just need to figure out how to arrange the wires so they still work properly and will not get in the way of the game.
