Electronic Design

Electronic design automation, also referred to as electronic computer aided design, is a category of software tools for designing electronic systems such as integrated circuits and printed circuit boards. The tools work together in a design flow that chip designers use to design and analyse entire semiconductor chips. Electronic designs typically contain a selection of highly complex functions- such as processors, controllers, and memory interfaced to each other by a plethora of simple functions.

Analog Circuit To turn on an LED using Micro:bit

Below is a tutorial on how to use a basic coding software to create the correct code.

Step 1:

Open Micro:bit and start to code. Firstly you need to insert the code below. This will mean your LED is always off when the button is not pressed.

Step 2:

For step two you need to insert the second batch of code as shown below. This section of code imp-laments the rule when the button is pressed the LED light will turn on to “255”.

Step 3:

This third section and final part is shown below.

How to implement this code onto your Micro:bit?

The images below show the process to adapt your micro:bit to be able to activate this code.

This image below shows the soldering I did that week to connect the two components.

One component has an insert which allows the micro:bit to insert into it in a fixed position.

However unfortunately I do not have the wiring or tools such as the LED to show you the further progress so that will come at a later date when these parts are purchased.
