The stores are full of cheap Halloween decorations that light up, but what use are they if you can't do something with them! Most of the light up decorations (that I've come across) are a outside casing (in my case a ghost), and a small plastic block…

The Micro:bit Accelerometer Theremin. Cool case, but no lights this time. (All Images: ME) Continuing on the theme of the Accelerometer Tone Adjusting project, I want to use the idea of very little hardware in building another Theremin. You can see the…

This is the Multi-button Synth in "button play mode." (UPDATE: The next version of this project is done, see the " 16-button sequence synthesizer. ") What’s the logical next step to a synthesizer? Playing multiple sounds or melodies. Accessible by multiple…

The Atari Punk Console, a name that Kaustic Machines dubbed, is an astable square wave driving a monostable oscillator. This was done with two 555 timer ICs, typically. The output was sound that resembled those produced by the old Atari 2600. It’s origin…

Happy Valentine's Day 2019!!! It occurred to me that I should probably make it heart themed, for Valentine's Day. So, here it is. It responds to the galvanic skin response with a heart shape that grows in size. Download the Microbit GSS Heart files at…

(Above) The Advanced Theremin as I had it set up. I placed the sensors separate to allow each hand to control a tone. (via me) The last BBC Micro:bit Theremin project had you create a single channel for sound. This, “ADVANCED,” Theremin will up that to…

A shot of the complete circuit. (via me) Digital musical instruments are in every facet of music today. Arguably, you can trace digital music’s origin to the original Theremin. Today, the Theremin is more of an art installation than a practical instrument…

This is going to be a game played between two micro:bits. Each player has a ship displayed on the LED matrix. A ship can be a single dot/LED or several LEDs. One LED in the ship is “the head” of the ship. When the “head” takes a hit, the game ends. Each…

We are going to start a project: develop a digital watch . This is actually going to be a multi-session project that we can expand as much as we like (depending on the level of attending students). We will start with the easiest solution. Once that is…

About this project This project shows how to send radio messages between two BBC micro:bits. One micro:bit will be used by the patient who will press the A button when they feel their heartbeat. The other micro:bit will be used by the nurse and will see…

About this project This project demonstrates how the BBC micro:bit's functions can be enhanced with external devices, in this case a 3V buzzer that can be programmed to act as a security alarm. What you'll need 1 x BBC micro:bit 1 x 3V buzzer 1 x Micro…

About this project This project guides pupils through the creation of a simple game played out on the BBC micro:bit's LED array. Players can earn points by using the A and B buttons to avoid falling hazards, similar to classic arcade games like Space…

About this project This project shows pupils how to introduce music and sound effects into their BBC micro:bit projects by teaching them how to write the tune 'Happy Birthday' using blocks of code. What you'll need 1 x BBC micro:bit 1 x Micro USB 1 x…
