Have Direction, Will Speak: A Talking Micro:bit Compass | #micropython @microbit_edu #microbit #microbitlove #microbitmonday
This is such a simple project from David Held over on Hackster.io that only takes a few minutes to program and assemble with the aid of an amp:bit, speaker, and main micro:bit board.
The Talking Compass is a simple project for the Micro:bit written in Python using the built-in compass and Python’s Speech module.
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
