Plan and design a data logger case

Using Micro:bit inputs and outputs

Micro:bit programs with variables

Ada Lovelace

Data logger cases

Connecting components safely

Data logger tests and understanding the data

This unit develops pupils' knowledge of simple circuits, programming and control. Fault finding of circuits will be introduced. Pupils will learn how to integrate a BBC Micro:bit in a simple circuit and use sensors to program a light display.

Simple programming and control: data loggers

To use a micro:bit in Tinkercad we need to create a new:

Which coding block allows you to make your own designs light up?

to collect information about traffic flow

to make the design difficult to understand

an electronic device that can collect information

Microcontrollers
