Introduction: Micro:bit Stopwatch
I always wanted to know how a timer worked and I think it is good to know how a timer works
A timer is handy to have wen you want to know how long something takes to do or if you want to time something and that is why I am going to make a timer
Supplies
1x BBC micro:bit
1x Computer to make and upload program/code
1x USB cable
Step 1: Write Program
this program is made in Microsoft https://makecode.microbit.org/ and I will guid you step by step
wen you are in Microsoft MakeCode klik on new project and then follow these steps
take (on button A pressed) from input and place it .
make a variable named start in variables then take (set start to) and place it in (on button A pressed).
then go to input more and take (running time ms) and place it in (set start to).
next take a (on butten A pressed) and change the letter to B and place it separately from the first one.
make a new variable named elapsed and then take (set elapsed to) and place it in (on button B pressed).
go to math and take (0-0) and place it in (set elapsed to).
then go input more and take (running time ms) and place it in the left side of (0-0).
go to variables and take (start) and place it in the right side of (0-0).
then go to basic and take (show number 0) and place it in (on butten B pressed) onder (set elapsed to)
go to math and take (0/0) and place it in (show number 0)
then place the varieble named (elapsed) in the left side of (0/0)
and in the right side of (0/0) you typ 1000
that is the code
Step 2: Test Program
Use the emulator to test the program. if it doesn't work you can change the code
Step 3: Download and Upload Program
Simply download the program from the bebsite and then upload it into the micro:bit

Step 4: Use It
have fune with your new stopwatch and try to time your 100m sprint
