What would this code do?
Nothing at all as the Microbit can't tell the acceleration
Lights up the panel leds lights accordingly to the strength of the acceleration
Shows the acceleration
nothing, there is a bug
What would this code do?
Detects acceleration
plays sound on acceleration
plays sound when the acceleration is bigger than 1500
What would this code do?
plays a radio channel
broadcasts remotely accelerations values to an another micro:bit
plays sound with 1500db
