The door alarm uses the micro:bit’s built-in compass, called a magnetometer, which can be programmed to send an alert when it moves.

So here's the LED screen, the touch sensor and the microphone. And here we have the speaker, compass and accelerometer which detects movement. You can use the micro:bit to code games and then play ...

Co-developed by Microsoft, ARM and Samsung, the micro:bit has a bunch of built-in sensors, including an accelerometer and compass, plus a matrix of 25 individually programmable LEDS. Put this together ...

BBC starts sending free Micro:bit computers to a million UK students BBC Micro:bit will hopefully help kids learn to code, like the BBC Micro before it.

To do this, the micro:bit pocket-sized computer is being distributed for free to students, complete with programmable innards, Bluetooth, built-in compass, and motion detection.

The micro:bit board includes a bank of LEDs, a pair of programmable buttons, an accelerometer to detect motion, a compass/magnetometer, Bluetooth connectivity and a selection of input and output ...

The micro:bit includes 25 LEDs, which can display images and text, two programmable buttons, motion detector and compass, and can connect to other devices via Bluetooth.
