Hi Steve, Leona,

Thanks for replying. I'll send an email followup shortly. The PyCon UK deadline 
proposal is Tues 28 June. Let's get a proposal together over the next few days.

Would anyone like to help me put together a microbit session for the

microbit to illustrate some motion-related maths/physics principles from 
accelerometer/gyroscope data.

Ideally we would prepare some exercises with direct relevance to 
classwork that teachers could take back to their students and use right away.

So if you know microbits and are keen to help, get in touch!

If you are a teacher with ideas you'd to implement, or you know 
teachers with ideas, then get in touch too.

The deadline for proposals is in 2 weeks...

Cheers

P.S. I have also submitted a proposal on sensor fusion algorithms for 
the main PyCon UK conference, using MetaWear PRO wearables. They can transmit 
9-axis accelerometer/gyroscope/magnetometer data over Bluetooth in real time. 
The microbit, as I understand it (mine will arrive in 2 weeks...) doesn't have 
enough memory to load Python and Bluetooth together. So we will have to be more 
creative about logging/retrieving results. Plenty of time to work through this 
in July/August. First step is the proposal

I have two microbits, and prototype machinery to drive them from a
Jupyter notebook, if that's of interest for anything.

[python-uk] Microbit motion sensors at PyCon UK Teachers' Day

2016-06-13 Thread Stephen Simmons


Hi everyone,


Would anyone like to help me put together a microbit session for the PyCon UK 
teachers' day using motion sensors? My plan is to use python on the microbit to 
illustrate some motion-related maths/physics principles from 
accelerometer/gyroscope data.

Ideally we would prepare some exercises with direct relevance to classwork that 
teachers could take back to their students and use right away.

So if you know microbits and are keen to help, get in touch!

Since it's in photos, it's safe to say that the current _prototype product_
uses an Atmel 32U4, which doesn't have anywhere enough memory to run
micropython. (So in order to run python on it via the gcc-avr tool chain,
you can probably infer a number of things I had to do, involving ply)

The actual final device wil be using a different chip, so we'll see on that
front.

The micropython device is cool though :-)

As I get the go ahead to release stuff, I will do so. Meanwhile, the PSF
are an official partner, so I'll be supporting Nick.

Tristan,

Code Club are already involved. I guess you could ask up the CodeClub
chain of command (as it were)..?

I only have a prototype because I attended a workshop last month for
partners (the PSF is a partner and I'm the PSF point of contact).

Getting hold of MicroBits is at the top of my ToDo list with this
project. I'll let you know how I get on.

Woah. That sounds really interesting. I'm a Python programmer and Code 
Club volunteer, with a side interest in physical computing. The MicroBit 
looks like a great intersection of all three.


Do you know of any way I could get my hands on one, or otherwise get 
involved in the beta program?


Thanks,

-Tristan.

It's also worth mentioning (now that the NDA has timed out and the
project is announced) that the PSF is involved and we hope that there
will be several Python & MicroBit related things developers (and
teachers) can get involved in.

We also hope to have the MicroBit as part of the education track at
PyconUK.

More details to follow soon.

Hi,


Just thought it worth mentioning this:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-31834927

 From the article:

The BBC will be giving away mini-computers to 11-year-olds across
the country as part of its push to make the UK more digital.

One million Micro Bits - a stripped-down computer similar to a
Raspberry Pi - will be given to all pupils starting secondary
school in the autumn term.

The BBC is also launching a season of coding-based programmes and
activities.

Just thought it worth mentioning that while that pictures the
prototype, it uses an awful lot of python in the software stack.

:-)

Hi,


Just thought it worth mentioning this:

>From the article:

The BBC will be giving away mini-computers to 11-year-olds across the
country as part of its push to make the UK more digital.

One million Micro Bits - a stripped-down computer similar to a Raspberry Pi
- will be given to all pupils starting secondary school in the autumn term.

The BBC is also launching a season of coding-based programmes and
activities.
