BBC MICRO BIT BREAKER GAME

BBC2546862 Micro:bit go

Hey guys,

Check it out!

Finally, created my first game. Micro: bit breaker!

Okay, it might not mean much to you. But, it is for me. I've been trying to learn to create my own game for a long time. I'm not a pro coder. In fact, I was actually trying to create the space invaders and it didn't work out.

So, I tried dabbling again with the javascript blocks editor to create a version of the brick breaker. Voila!

It's not perfect though. It plays kind of weird. The good thing is, I can keep working on it and learn along the way. While making the bit breaker, I realized a few things that I can do for my bit racing game. I'll be dabbling more on that later on.

Visit microbit.org if you're interested to learn how to make a game for your micro bit!

You can use javascript blocks editor or micro python. Javascript blocks editor is easier. As it's like playing with a jigsaw puzzle. It also includes a micro: bit simulator. You can test out whatever project you've created before downloading and send the .hex file to your micro: bit.

My next game might be the micro: bit racing. Learned, a few things while making the bit breaker. Subscribe to my blog or youtube.com/freaker126 channel for the latest blog post updates!

Micro: bit is so much fun!

I'll be getting my beaglebone blue today. So, stay tuned for my beaglebone blue blog post and video demos!

Happy gaming!

Hey guys,

Check out my micro: bit demo coding of the song, "Ba ba black sheep"!

You need to click the button, "A" for it to start. And, it will play the song 3 times.

Click here for the code link!

You can even play around and edit it as you wish!

Just playing around with the javascript block. I'm waiting for my micro: bit to arrive and will try to upload the code to it. Meanwhile, you can play around with the editor and even see it works on the emulator. Cool!

Raspberry pi 3 and arduino security camera robot

4M Smart Robot Science Kit, STEM

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I'm having fun tinkering with raspberry pi 3 and the picamera. Watch my demo video!

If you also have an arduino, you can even use it combined with the pi. My picamera are connected to my raspberry pi while the servo are controlled by arduino. I've been googling and checking out sample python code and finally decided to try it out.



Raspberry Pi 3 Board and 16GB, 10class, with NOOBS

If you want to learn how to control the picamera using python then click here. For controlling, arduino servo using python, check out this site. Remember, to change the "ser.port = 'COM4'" to your own arduino port. This code include the "gui" controller. Pretty handy.

In my video, I used the arduino sample sweep motion code to let the camera move from 0 to 180 degrees both sides. This way, the camera can get a full picture of my room. If you used it as a security camera, you can even get a full view of your front house. A cheap diy security camera!

You can code the picamera to take video or picture. Can even use sensor that will activate the camera if there's movement around or inside your house. But, I haven't learn that part yet. If you use ssh, you can even watch the video stream on your phone. I've been using VNC viewer to access my pi.

I'm really into learning python now. Playing with raspberry pi and even arduino have helped in applying what I have learned. A couple month back (last year), I downloaded the free python software, but I didn't know head or tail and how to use it.

Now, I've learned enough to build my own smart car robot. I even thought, it'll be hard but, it was actually fun. Of course, in the new year, I want to learn more. I still haven't build my own quadcopter yet. Just need to get the parts. I've also been looking at other products like the BBC Micro:Bit.

Looks like fun to learn using micropython and javascripts block. You can even build a smart robot with it. But you'll need a motor shield for it. You might want to check out the products offering by Kitronik. BBC Micro:Bit currently are very popular in the U.K!

I'll definitely get myself a beaglebone blue. It's for my quadcopter project. A little troublesome, because they don't have any drone kit to go with the beaglebone blue. I'm still looking around for anything I like. If only, I get a sponsor. There're so many things, I want to try out. :p
