Introduction

Microcontroller code for Microsoft Hacking STEM Harnessing Electricity to Communicate lesson plan adapted for micro:bit

Getting Started

1. Download lesson assets at https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/education/education-workshop/telegraph.aspx
2. Build your Telegraph! and attach your Speaker!
3. Use uflash and nudatus to flash code to micro:bit microcontroller (See Flashing Controller)
4. Verify data interactions in Excel
5. Ready, Set, Science!

Flashing Controller:

Microbit has a very limited amount of space for code, to flash this program you will need to "minimize" it, which strips out extraneous stuff (like comments). We recommend using nudatus to minimize and uflash to flash.

Get uflash

pip install uflash

Get nudatus

pip install nudatus

Minimize Code

nudatus morse_code.py morse_code.minified.py

Flash Code

uflash morse_code.minified.py
