    Can you make a code where you can type out a message and send the full message to the other microbit because I found a tutorial on how to make a text message thing with the microbits but it only sends one letter at a time is there a way you can upgrade that?

    • @schooltechhq
      @schooltechhq 3 місяці тому

      You should be able to send a text message to another device, and it will display at least a couple of letters as it scrolls through. It is only 25 LEDs, so the amount of space is limited, which means it can't fit more than maybe 1.5 letters at a time as it scrolls through the message.

      Thank you for your comment. 😀 This is why I shared more than one method. These two methods are the most commonly used, especially with young learners (8+ years). The use of cursor keys is just to show an alternative way, especially for children, which might be easier for them instead of the extra step of using the align tool which, from experience, means more work for the teacher to have to fix when the objects go in all sorts of funny directions 😆

    Thanks to tinkercad, all 3D printing sites are littered with terrible looking boxy designs that are also fragile. It is fragile because with fillets you can reduce many stress lines, improving part strength by 200-300%. Most of them are simple mounts but because of the bad design they don't even survive the mounting process.

      Unfortunately, the way to round the top face of complex objects is the same, using either method. It will just take more time to do. An alternative method would be to download Autodesk's Fusion 360 and make a free account, there you can easily round edges by importing your design.

    I'm ZDP189. I find using grid snap and nudge less accurate than parameters, align and %scale. Also I use hole rather than transparent. Also, the best number of sides is usually not just max but usually a number divisible by 4 that is appropriate to the resolution of your print or model.

    • @schooltechhq
      @schooltechhq Рік тому

      Hi ZDP189. Thank you for your comment and insight. I find that when teaching young children, grid snap is the easiest thing for them to learn. I appreciate there are other ways of doing this. With the second method you will notice that I used hole instead of transparent because instead of adding to the object (reason for transparent in the first method) I am taking away from the object. It's less steps for learners (especially children) to have to switch from solid to hole to solid again for adding to an object. 😊
