micro:bit

What is the micro:bit?

Microsoft’s MakeCode editor is the perfect way to start programming and get creating with the BBC micro:bit. The colour-coded blocks are familiar to anyone who’s previously used Scratch, and yet powerful enough to access all the features of this tiny computer. You can also switch to JavaScript to see the text-based code behind the blocks.

A microbit is a small, pocket-sized computer that we can program to do fun and interesting things.

It's like a tiny, interactive billboard that can display messages, play sounds, and react to your actions. You can program it to respond to buttons being pressed and even movement.

Cad é an micro:bit?

Is bealach iontach é eagarthóir MakeCode Microsoft chun cláir a thosú agus a bheith ag cruthú leis an micro:bit BBC. Aithneoidh aon duine na blocanna dathchódaithe a d'úsáid Scratch roimhe seo, agus atá cumhachtach go leor fós chun rochtain a fháil ar ghnéithe uile an ríomhaire bhídigh seo. Is féidir leat aistriú go JavaScript freisin chun an cód téacsbhunaithe taobh thiar de na bloic a fheiceáil.

Is ríomhaire beag póca é micro:bit ar féidir linn a ríomhchlárú chun rudaí spraíúla agus suimiúla a dhéanamh.#

Tá sé cosúil le clár fógraí beag idirghníomhach ar féidir leis teachtaireachtaí a thaispeáint, fuaimeanna a sheinm agus freagairt do do ghníomhartha. Is féidir leat é a ríomhchlárú chun freagairt nuair a bhrúitear cnaipí agus fiú do ghluaiseacht.
