While the image shows black momentary pushbuttons, you can use any colored button as long as it is momentary pushbutton to
trigger the sounds!
Troubleshooting
No Sound
Given the size and shape of the piezo buzzer, it is easy to miss the right holes on the breadboard. Try double-checking its
placement.
Also, double check to make sure the push button is wired correctly. If you miswired it, then the circuit will never be completed even
if you press the button or not.
Feeling Let Down and Deserted
Create your own song using just the tone blocks rather than the standard song options given from the start melody block.
Experiment 10: Using the Accelerometer
Introduction
In this experiment you will look at combining the use of the accelerometer on the micro:bit to measure the orientation of the
micro:bit and use it to control the angle of a servo.
Ready to shake, rattle and roll?

Introducing the Accelerometer
The accelerometer is a component
that you won’t find in the kit’s bag of
