Episode 9 - Making a room alarm with your microbit

[@zsazsawyler5749]

Hi we were wondering on what to use instead of the exhi:bit Prototyping system for micro:bit because we weren’t able to buy.

[@defboy1152]

i heard that you could connect it blue tooth to your phone so you could have it take a picture of the person coming in

[@bigmanbazzaaa]

On the phone.

[@raytaha6228]

lol haha

Hi, tank you for creating this video. As a beginner I am having trouble at the end when you use the adapter. Do you have advice to rigging it up without the adapter. Also, do you have another vid to explain using different codes to set the alarm? Lastly, do you have a vid on combining the visual alarm, too? Cheers

[@caleteccodingforkids5300]

do you mind if i use the code in this video to make a written version on my website i will also be able to put a link to your channel

[@MicroMonsters]

CaleTec : Coding for kids please feel free

[@sidseldahlknudsen6015]

Thanks for the inspo - made a silent alarm prototype based on this ;)

[@panixv]

I don't understand the variable bit. Can someone please elaborate?

[@kevgroarke]

Hey man, love these vids. Quick question: do you know anywhere I can buy individual accessories in bulk? I'd like to just buy a job lot of buzzers or leds or wires etc. Thanks in advance.

[@MicroMonsters]

Sorry no I don’t

[@jadenguyenstampy8209]

I'm using the python code but the first line has a syntax error, anyone know how to fix this?

[@mborakarakus]

you are a so cool dad

[@tascha9042]

He is awsome im not joking!

[@dwyt]

really great video man :)

[@raller90210]

Thx - Works perfect, but in the new "skin" i needed to add a - ON START block ad put in the ALARMSET verible

[@panixv]

Dont understand

[@programmingisamazing2130]

How do you connect the buzzer without the bread board?

[@MicroMonsters]

does your buzzer have long wires? If so you could just wrap it around the contacts on the microbit otherwise if you have any crocodile clips you could use these?

[@programmingisamazing2130]

okay thanks :)

[@programmingisamazing2130]

hello , my buzzer is just a small black circle with two metal pins coming out of it. I do have some wires with crocodile clips on them, red, yellow, and white ones. I bought the things from your link. But I do not have a bread board. So when I connected my microbit nothing worked. I'm not sure why. Please could you do a tutorial or a photo of how the wires go to the buzzer and microbit?

[@MicroMonsters]

see this image I quickly did (its for headphones not a buzzer but dont worry) ibb.co/mdy3Z5 basically connect one side of your buzzer to pin zero and the other side to ground

[@programmingisamazing2130]

ok thank you. i will do that.

[@theo-p9626]

what do you code on?

[@MicroMonsters]

With the microbit we mostly use makecode.microbit.org/ using chrome on pc but sometimes micropythong using the mu editor

[@caleteccodingforkids5300]

where dose each component go on the microbit itself

[@MicroMonsters]

In our case, as shown in the video, the speaker is attached to pin0 and ground and the two pieces of tinfoil are attached to p2 and ground

[@caleteccodingforkids5300]

so dose both the speaker and the tinfoil go to ground

[@caleteccodingforkids5300]

also could i have a download as i coded one but i cant find it in my downloads folder i may of deleted it by acident

[@MicroMonsters]

CaleTec : Coding for kids yes as both he other pins are supplying the positive side of the circuit

[@caleteccodingforkids5300]

thanks

[@nuttymuffin2574]

Me see you on Monday yay😃

[@patrikasbarauskas5142]

Hi, can you help me?

[@patrikasbarauskas5142]

I am coping everything what is in video, but I dont gave adapter. Do it works with no adapter? And does not show ,,Armed" and ,,X" on micro bit led's. Thanks for helping :)

[@edicizmak4229]

can you give a link vith editor

[@MicroMonsters]

we use this editor? makecode.microbit.org/ was that what you were asking for?

[@raytaha6228]

Yea

[@8ballpolpolhack827]

Code micro bit

[@stevealt1568]

what a prat XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
