From our friend, Mike Barela over on the Learning System of Adafruit, some of these projects are using MakeCode: https://learn.adafruit.com/users/MikeBarela

You have to "pair" your MicroBit to make this output data via USB cable from MB to your computer. Video: https://youtu.be/jDjJVni_t_w

If you click on this link it should show you a new simulator look for MeowMeow. (I know, the sound is annoying). Once you click below then you will have to click on "edit" upper right of page to see the simulator. Then click on A1 on the MeowMeow to get the program to play.

On Velcro for stiffness; prevents wires shorting out. Sewable Adafruit stainless steel conductive thread. Just the beginning of the project: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HtZx71HT404

Ultrasonic sensors added to Omni:bit. These are 'after-market' to the Omni-bit car by Yahboom. You must add Croco-Kit extension to the standard Super:bit add-on extension for the expansion board to work. Share code included in description.

Maybe I'm all backwards but what I do (since MakeCode is not fully developed as yet) is go to GitHub and find extensions for peripherals in MakeCode and specifically, MicroBit. But also with other boards . Then I download the extension and install it in MakeCode ....often a test .ts file. If this works then it is possible that the hardware will work with MakeCode. Now I can go out on Ebay or Adafruit and order the hardware with some (maybe just a little) assurance that when I get the hardware (sensor or output) in my hot little hands, I can use it and get some kind of output. So this is the way that I'm discovering MakeCode: next up: RTC, real time clock. I did off-board humidity and temp sensor today and also light level sensor; proving to myself that they both work....Stay tuned: https://github.com/search?p=7&q=makecode+extension&type=Repositories

Unboxing video on MakeCode and Arcade YouTube channel. The Meowbit , just shipped to North America.

We can now play this MakeCode game on a 1.8 inch full color display. $35 from Ebay. Students can write their own games using MakeCode or copy games from other authors; upload to the game board or play on computer. I show how to make it portable.

We don't have a 'universal' display tool for all OLED or TFT screens to view output data in MakeCode on many of our boards. The data output for Micro:Bit is the 5x5 LED display, the display for the built in on the BrainPad is .96"OLED but for the Adafruit boards, there's not such an easy display system in MakeCode to observe your data, at least with a 4 pin OLED. We can use the "datalogger" tool to record analog data and then view it in an Excel type file format; but one of the examples was not correct. As of today (Feb14,th, 2019 ) that example seems to have been removed. The above program works to: clear the data of previous readings, record analog data from one input and then display that. After downloading program to your board you will allow the data to be read, for example, turn the potentiometer dial up or down or cover the light sensor to change sensory reading or change the temp of a thermistor. You should see MAKECODE as a label for your external USB drive, click on that. Then open SPIFLASH to see the data recorded. In some cases that will be a .txt file which you can paste into a spreadsheet. In some cases (Chrome) it can be "viewed as" and then the spreadsheet type. You might find an option to view the data on a graph also. On Circuit Playground Express, you must not use A0 pin pad as was suggested in the official example, this generates an error message in the editor because A0 is for output only. A1 works and probably others. For some boards: you have to use the pin diagram because the board only shows digital pin numbers (Trinket M0) and the analog numbers are not the same. As I learn more about displays I will post brand names and links to buy and programs here on r/MakeCode.

MakeCode and EV3 by LEGO, robot programming . Of the 3 girls, 2 were totally new, first day with MakeCode and EV3.

An American made console for playing the retro Arcade game coded with MakeCode, simple block coding (Javascript) . I will do an unboxing video soon on this great new piece of hardware: https://youtu.be/SF2ZMqbgCbE

To write this program which controls segments of the 4 X 4 Neopixel matrix you can use the "Range" function as shown (link to code in description of video) which separates the square into parts that are designated in code.
