Festive decoration

第 1 步：制作

它是什么？

Turn your micro:bit into a festive decoration that shows a flashing star on the LED display as soon as it gets dark.

这两个视频介绍了你将制作什么以及如何编程：

工作原理

• The program uses the micro:bit’s light sensor to measure the light levels.
• It then uses an “if then else” logic block.
• If the light levels are less than 100, the micro:bit is instructed to show two icons – a large star then a small star with pauses in between – in a forever loop on the LED display. This creates the animation.
• A forever loop in a computer program is an instruction that repeats forever.
• If the light levels are more than 100, the micro:bit is told to clear the screen.

15                       '09090:'
16                       '00000'))
17        sleep(500)
18    else: display.clear()
19    sleep(500)

第3步：完善

• Adjust the threshold at which the animation plays to better suit your room.
• Instruct your micro:bit to play a festive sound on pressing button A.
• Make other festive projects such as a jukebox which plays festive tunes, or an alarm which comes on when Father Christmas arrives on Christmas Eve!
