Build a Micro:bit Compass Guide

The document describes the creation of a compass using the micro:bit, detailing the coding process and the decision-making behind the project. Initially considering a clock, the authors shifted to a compass due to space limitations on the micro:bit. They conducted research on how compasses work and utilized various online resources to develop their code.

micro:bit compass

By Danielle Clune, Amy Hosey, Áine Brennan and Vera Kril


Our Code
Our Code

Our code works by depending on conditions. It will not


function if the code is inserted incorrectly. If the code is
inputted correctly, the micro:bit will display North, South,
East or West.

Once the micro:bit points to a specific degree, it will then


show either "N", "S", "E" OR "W".

Our Idea

At first, we thought we would do a clock, but we soon


realised that there is not enough space on the
micro:bit to place all twelve numbers of the clock.

We then decided we would do a compass as we are


interested in orienteering.
Research

 To get some background research we first decided we were going to


research how a regular compass works.

 We realised the micro:bit chip contains an orientation chip.

 We then began researching our code.

 We looked in a few different places, a then we finally found a tutorial


on how to create the code.
Resources

These are some of the websites that we looked up to help us


complete the task of making a compass.

We looked up how to make a compass on YouTube. The title of
the video is, micro:bit Compass Tutorial.
