The file called ubit_flash.hex needs to be dragged and dropped into the MICROBIT folder. This will program the board. If you are interested, the Micropython script that creates the .hex file is in ubit_flash.py. I put up all the code used in the project...

Getting the microbit connected to your Windows device
Instructions from Indicating when eye tracker software is in use
This connection should happen automatically with Windows 10. If you are using an earlier version of Windows, you will need to install the driver for the microbit. Detailed instructions on how to do this are on my blog post: https://www.seismicmatt.com/2020/04/27/connecting-the-bbc-microbit-to-windows-and-adding-code-to-it/...

Downloading the code for the microbit and the laptop/tablet from GitHub

Summary – regular use after setting up
Instructions from Indicating when eye tracker software is in use
Connect the microbit using a micro USB cable from the microbit to the device running the communication software. Run Grid 2 or Grid 3 or Tobii Communicator. Run the Windows software – double click on activity_indicator.exe. This is not necessary if you...

Build the micro:bit Circuit
Instructions from Operation Game - micro:bit Style
1. Connect Pin 0 on the microBit to the LONGER pin on the piezo buzzer using an alligator clip cable.(blue in diagram, colour doesn’t matter). (if it’s an Active buzzer, there will be a ‘+’ sign on the top of the buzzer over the pin) 2. Connect...

How to connect the micro:bit to a Windows machine and load code
Instructions from communication through gesture
Hopefully, you can just plug the micro:bits into the Windows machine and they will be automagically detected. A folder called MICROBIT will appear in your File Explorer. Then you can drag and drop the .hex file containing the code for the micro:bit onto...
