Microbit Module¶

The microbit module gives you access to all the hardware that is built-in into your board.

Functions¶

microbit.panic(n)¶

Enter a panic mode that stops all execution, scrolls an error code in the micro:bit display and requires restart:

microbit.panic(255)

Parameters:	n – An arbitrary integer between 0 and 255 to indicate an error code.

microbit.running_time()¶

Returns:	The number of milliseconds since the board was switched on or restarted.

microbit.sleep(n)¶

Wait for n milliseconds. One second is 1000 milliseconds, so microbit.sleep(1000) will pause the execution for one second.

Parameters:	n – An integer or floating point number indicating the number of milliseconds to wait.

microbit.temperature()¶

Returns:	An integer with the temperature of the micro:bit in degrees Celcius.
