When complete, we compile the programme and generate a hex. file. Click
on the download button and save the hex. file to the Downloads folder
C:\downloads. This hex. file is ready to upload to the micro:bit.
Plug the micro:bit into a USB port. The, drag and drop the hex. file onto the
micro:bit removable device to upload the programme.
Rotate the trimmer. The voltage will be displayed on the micro:bit screen through a bar graph. When the
voltage is 0, the LED screen displays a pixel spot only. When it is 3.3 V, the whole screen will be illuminated.
Now, how would you use the trimmer to adjust the LED's brightness?
5.4
Photocell
1x micro:bit board
1x micro:bit breadboard adapter
1x breadboard
1x photocell
1x 10 kΩ resistor
(brown/black/black/red/bruin)
Short leg = collector
Positive anode
Long leg = emitter
Negative cathode
We are going to use a photocell to control the brightness of the
micro:bit screen.
Place the necessary components on the breadboard as shown.
