The repository MicroPython for micro:bit gathers samples of code to learn to program micro:bit boards. It consists of 5 sections of increasing difficulty:

1. Introduction
2. GPIO
3. Control systems
4. Remote controls
5. Robot design

Each part comes with a video presenting its final result. The MobileRoboticsWithMicrobit_SummerSchool2020.pdf file (elaborated by my colleague Amaury Dame) serves as a guidance documentation.

• Tested on macOS Big Sur version 11.0.1
• Python 3.6
• PyCharm CE 2020.2 (with MicroPython plugin)

pip install -r requirements.txt

1. Make sure to have plugged the micro:bit board into your computer and set the correct device path into PyCharm > Preferences… > Languages & Frameworks > MicroPython. For this, simply plug your micro:bit into your computer using a USB cable and type following Terminal command to get the micro:bit device path: ls /dev/cu.usb*. For me, it was /dev/cu.usbmodem14302:
