Connect a Micro:bit to LED
This is what you will make. Note: this is a simulator.
Supplies
You will need a micro:bit, a white, blue, or green LED, and crocodile or alligator clips. (it does not matter)
Connecting the Parts
Connect the micro:bit pins: 0, GND (ground) to the LED using clips (crocodile or alligator clips). Connect the longer leg to pin 0. The shorter leg connects to GND.
WARNING: Make sure the alligator clips do not touch each other on the LED or you can short circuit the micro:bit.
Coding It
Make 2 variables: fading, index and put these blocks in your Microsoft Makecode Editor. Find the "digital write pin " block in the pins.
Coding a Satisfying Fade Effect
