Pete Prodoehl 🍕<p>I'm working on a new parametric design to hold micro:bit boards... You can change the number of boards, space between them, and angle they insert... they also snap into place with a nice little "click" and don't fall out. </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/openScad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>openScad</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/3Dprinting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>3Dprinting</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/microbit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>microbit</span></a></p>

Sherri W (SyntaxSeed)<p>My complaint remains from the <a href="https://phpc.social/tags/Arduino" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Arduino</span></a> though. Lessons have an over-emphasis on the coding part but only cursory explanation of circuits &amp; electronics.</p><p>It amounts to mostly blindly following a wiring diagram.</p><p>Also haven't found much in the way of Official video lessons other than kits for teachers. 🤔</p><p>Currently using the big lesson PDF from Freenove (the company behind the <a href="https://phpc.social/tags/Microbit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Microbit</span></a> + extras kit we bought).</p>
Sherri W (SyntaxSeed)<p>One of my sons received a <a href="https://phpc.social/tags/MicroBit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MicroBit</span></a> for his birthday. It's a microcontroller kit similar to <a href="https://phpc.social/tags/Arduino" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Arduino</span></a>, but a bit more kid/student friendly. With input buttons &amp; an LED matrix display &amp; various sensors right on the board. Very cool.
