Instructions

the reading will be 1023. Note that in practice the maximum value will be around
1013 rather than 1024 because of extra circuitry built into the Slider for micro:bit
that protects the micro:bit.
This example will display the reading when button A is pressed. Load it onto your
micro:bit (see the link) and try moving the slider to various positions and then press
button A and see what the reading is.
Click on this link and then Download the program onto your micro:bit:

If you are using Python, the following program does the same as the blocks code
above. You can download all the Python example code for this kit at
https://github.com/monkmakes/mb_slider. The program is called analog_reading.py.
from microbit import *
while True:
if button_a.was_pressed():
display.scroll(pin2.read_analog())
For more information on using MicroPython on your micro:bit, see the Section
MicroPython with Mu, later in these instructions.
Here are some more programs for you to test out the slider.
