BBC micro:bit Controlled Crane Step By Step
This is a step by step guide to customising a toy crane to be controlled with a BBC micro:bit, using the Motor Driver Board for the BBC micro:bit and the built-in accelerometer to detect tilt and turn motions.
Igloo Tutorial 4: Fading LED - Pulse Width Modulation
This tutorial demonstrates how to use an Igloo PICAXE wearable module to make the on-board LED blink on and off.
Igloo Tutorial 3: Blink - External Digital Output
This tutorial demonstrates how to use an Igloo PICAXE wearable module to make a sewable E-textiles LED flash on and off.
Igloo Tutorial 2: Momentary Switch
This tutorial demonstrates how to use the Igloo's on-board push button switch as a momentary switch to turn the on-board LED on and off. The LED will come on while the button is held down and turn off when the button is released.

BBC micro:bit Cool Colours Temperature Sensor
This is a simple tutorial demonstrating how to use an analogue input with the BBC micro:bit. The BBC micro:bit is able to read analogue voltages from sensors like Light Dependent Resistors (LDRs) and Thermistors. This tutorial uses the analogue read function to change the colour of a tri-colour LED to correspond to the temperature of the thermistor. A thermistor is a special type of resistor that changes its resistance as it gets warmer.
