Micro:Bit for Beginners – Getting Started Guide

Unbox and inspect the board
Identify the USB port, built-in LEDs, reset button, edge connector and power pads.

Connect to your computer
Use a micro-USB cable to connect the Micro:Bit to your PC or laptop. The board will appear as a removable drive.

Choose a programming environment
Use the official online editors:

Microsoft MakeCode — block-based or JavaScript coding.
MicroPython Editor — write Python code directly in browser.

Create your first program
For example, a simple “Hello LED” script that flashes the built-in LEDs or displays a text message.

Download and flash
Click “Download” — the code will compile and download as a .hex file. Drag and drop it into the Micro:Bit drive. The board will reboot and run your program.

Extend with sensors or accessories
Use the edge-connector or clip-on modules (sensors, LEDs, buzzers) to build more advanced projects like weather stations, motion detectors, or simple robots.
