ステップ1: 作る
説明
Send coded BBC micro:bit radio messages to tell someone how you’re feeling.
These two videos show you what you'll make and how to program it:
動作の仕組み
- Press different button inputs on your micro:bit to send different messages over radio to another micro:bit to tell someone how you’re feeling. The output on the receiver micro:bit is either a happy, sad or excited emoji on the LED display.
- Make sure you and your partner use a unique radio group so that you can send your message to a particular micro:bit or a particular person who has that micro:bit.
- The program uses a simple kind of code, or encryption. This could stop, for example, another person from reading your messages, and keep them secure.
- The code used is a simple number cipher. This is a kind of encryption. In this example, 17 means happy, 23 means sad, and 42 means excited. Note - only numbers or letters can be sent by radio and not emojis.
- Agreeing a unique radio group, a set of possible messages, and a way of encrypting those messages with a partner means you have agreed a protocol, or rules for communicating and keeping your messages secure. Use this sheet to plan your own messaging protocol.
- The same code goes on both micro:bits, so you and your partner can communicate with each other.
必要なもの
- micro:bit 2個

36 display.clear()
37 sleep(200)
ステップ3: 改善する
- Customise the emojis to send different messages.
- Use more of the micro:bit’s physical inputs such as the shake gesture or the touch logo on the micro:bit V2 to send even more messages.
- Show scrolling text, such as the words 'hot', 'cold' and 'warm', instead of emojis to play a hide and seek game.
