micro:bit iPod Challenge
Your Challenge
Can you turn your micro:bit into a iPod?
When your micro:bit is shaken it needs to be able to play one of 5 different songs. Use a random number generator to select a number between 0 and 4. Store this number in variable and display it on the screen. Then use a conditional to play the song using the start melody music block.
Hardware setup
In your kit of parts you will find a speaker, and a set of aligator clips. Using the black aligator clip connect the black wire on the speaker to the ground (GND) pin on the bottom of your micro:bit. Now using the red aligator clip connect the red wire on the speaker to the 0 pin on the bottom of your micro:bit.
Don’t forget that you should:
- Start by writing pseudocode to plan out what your program should do.
- Comment your code, so that others can read the code and understand what it does.
- Test your code first in the simulator and then on the physical device.
- Use/extend code that you have written in the past for ideas & inspiration.
