    This document provides step-by-step instructions for creating a step counter program using micro:bit block coding. The program uses a variable to store the step count, and increments the variable by 1 each time the micro:bit is shaken. It then displays the current step count on the micro:bit LED screen. The completed program is downloaded and transferred to the micro:bit device to be run independently of the computer.

    Step 3: Get rid of the forever block.

    Step 4: Create a variable by selecting and clicking

    FYI: Variables are used in programs to store information that can change. In this
    activity, it’s steps.

    Step 5: Type the word steps in the box and


    click ok.

    Step 6: Find the [ ].

    Step 7: Grab the block, drag and drop inside the [ ].

    Your code should look like this:

    Step 8: Now, let’s make something happen when we shake our micro:bit. So, find
    the [ ] block from the input tab.

    Step 9: Grab the block, drag and drop the block to the right of the on start block
    in your workspace.

    Your code should look like this:

    Step 10: Locate the [ ] under the variables tab.

    Step 11: Grab the block, drag and drop inside the [ ] block.

    FYI: This will change the value of the steps variable by 1 every time the micro:bit
    is shaken.

    Your code should look like this:

    4
    Step 12: Find the [ ] block from the basic tab.

    Step 13: Grab the block, drag and drop below [ ] block.

    Let’s Download the Code

    Step 17: In the box that says Untitled, rename the file “Step Counter.” Then
    Download.

    Step 18: Show File in Folder.

     The file will display in your Downloads folder as a hex file. Locate the
    downloaded .hex file.

    Step 19: Connect the micro:bit to your computer with a USB cable. The microUSB
    port is on top of the micro:bit.

    Step 20: Drag the .hex file from the Downloads folder to the MICROBIT drive.

    The code is now downloaded to your micro:bit!

    To use the micro:bit away from your computer, disconnect the micro:bit from the
    USB cable and connect the battery pack.
