Course Description

This video will show you how to attach a button or buzzer to an Arduino Uno or a micro:bit. To create a custom timer, we'll be using the C code for Arduino and the block code for microbit. You can use the buttons to set your timer and get it going. The micro:bit and Arduino will start the buzzer when the timer is reached.
