PJ007 Super Tips on Programming

Great! You are curious to explore here, and want to dig the answer!

Before clicking the tips bags below, please take a breath and try again by yourself... :-)

Needed building blocks

These are all the needed building blocks, please find them out. If having no idea of what to do next, please think about the programming requirement.

Variables ->
Make a variable...

Advanced -> Pins ->

Basic ->

Music -> Tone ->

Logic -> Conditionals ->

Logic -> Comparison ->

Input ->

Basic ->

Advanced -> more -> Pins ->

Flow Chart

Here is a reference flow chart, think hard how to use the above building blocks to build this logic.

Tip: Set initial status "on start"!

Before using the variable, remember to set an initial value on start! Keep in mind that initialization is always a good point to think about in programming.

Tip: How to capture a "touch"?

If you assemble these blocks like below, it detects if the probe touches the wire-path.

Tip: Normal flow when a "touch" happens

Here is the situation when there is a touch, and the amount of touches doesn't reach 10 yet, so it's a normal warning sound and showing the counting on LED matrix. We hope you figure out other branches from now.

Tip: Button A+B to reset

Here it is, we believe you can figure out by yourself.

Tip: Review the demo, redesign, refactor, retest until you succeed!

Learning by copying a working result first

These are all needed for this program. It's not recommended to copy a work, but if it works better for you, it's fine, then you need to figure out why, because normally the tutor knows who clicks this, and you need to explain this to the class in the presentation part after all.

Lazy take away

This is a ready-baked take away in MakeCode, you can directly download to your Micro:bit to test.
