Device Programs

The robots and joysticks ship pre-flashed with these programs. In class students edit the receiver (the robot’s behavior); the joystick transmitter is left alone so pairing never breaks.

Programs

For most cases, use the first Joystick program. The second joystick program is for students who want to edit the transmitter and receiver code together, and is not pre-flashed on the joysticks.

Bulk Flashing

To flash a whole classroom set at once, use the microbit-loader utility in the course repository — it loads the stock transmitter/receiver hex onto many devices in one pass.
