Beth yw e?

Use count-controlled loops and a sequence to help create a dance routine project on your BBC micro:bit. You can use the project alone or with friends.

Mae'r ddau fideo hyn yn dangos i chi yr hyn y byddwch yn ei greu a sut i'w godio:

Sut mae'n gweithio

  • The program starts when you press button A.
  • Arrows appear on the micro:bit’s LED display, which tell you how to dance – step left then right, put your hands up in the air, then point down to the floor.
  • If you are using the project in a group, everyone should press button A on their micro:bits at the same time, so that you start the dance routine at the same time and remain in sync.
  • After showing each image, the program pauses for a second (1000 milliseconds) before showing the next image. The pause helps everyone to keep in time.
  • The sequence of dance moves repeats four times then stops. The sequence is kept going using a count-controlled loop. Count-controlled loops repeat instructions a set number of times.
  • Using loops to keep things happening is an important idea in computer programming. This is also called iteration
  • When the routine is finished, the micro:bit’s LED display is cleared.

Cam 3: Gwella

  • Make instructions for other dance sequences to appear when you use other inputs such as pressing button B or shaking the micro:bit.
  • Change the length of the pauses to make the program run in time with your favourite song.
  • Use this project alongside the step counter project to monitor how well you dance.
