![]() This is hardly appropriate for ad hoc experimentation. Apple view this type of interface as an external accessory which would have to be licensed under the Apple MFi program. IOS devices do not lend themselves to be hard-wired to external hardware via a USB connection.Apart from the fact there are lots of iPhones and iPads waiting to control micro:bits, there are a few other reasons for writing code for iOS devices: There are, however, few examples, at the time of writing, on developing applications for Apple devices such as iPhones and iPads. Martin has written a number of applications for the Android Operating system that demonstrate how the micro:bit can be controlled using a smart phone. Developing Applications For The BBC Microbit.Designing the Profile for the micro:bit.Martin Woolley, the principal architect for the micro:bit bluetooth implementation, has produced some very interesting articles: One of the strengths of the micro:bit is it's implementation of BLE. Some are specific and promote particular features of chip manufactures while others like Arduino and Raspberry pi are general purpose but may require greater complexity and expense to achieve a requirement easy served by the micro:bit. Of course there is a plethora of devices that can do similar things to the micro:bit. With the hardware licensed under Solderpad and the runtime software under MIT, designers are free to develop products based on the micro:bit design. It provides an easy way of introducing BLE into projects and facilitating communication with devices like smart phones and tablets. It implements Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE).Using the JavaScript Blocks Editor programs can be created and transferred to the micro:bit without complicated development environments. ![]() Based on the Nordic nRF51822 micro processor, the credit card size micro computer can be easily integrated into electronic projects taking ideas to fully working models. For many in 2016 it was even cheaper, well free, when the BBC gave one to a million school children. For under £13, you get a very versatile micro computer and, while I don’t condone cruelty to electronic components, if the worst happens it won’t break the bank to replace. The micro:bit is a great bit of kit for hobbyists, designers, educators and of course students. ![]()
