“Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” (Arthur C. Clarke). Heck yes it is! What are we waiting for, let’s use technology to create our own kind of magic!! This project uses two micro:bit microcontrollers, a household cooling fan, and a few small electronic parts to create our very own magical wand. I…
While it is a bit tricky for us non-magical humans to levitate objects with our minds, words, or wands, we can use technology to do (basically) the same things! This project uses two micro:bits, a few small electronic parts, and some everyday objects from around the house to create our very own magical wand….
Whenever your phone rings or you get a text message, radio waves carry that information, whether in the form of a voice or letters, across vast distances. Different forms of wireless communication use different types of radio waves, which are differentiated by their wavelength and frequency. Cellphone radio waves can travel far, but eventually they…
Intro Nearly all of our wireless communication is done using radio waves*, including phone calls, text messages, and WiFi. With its built-in radio transmitters and receivers, the Micro:Bit microcontroller makes it super easy to build all sorts of projects with radio communication. This particular project is a simple & quick way to send text messages…
