Import the Bright Board Menu to MakeCode
To program the Bright Board from the Make Code editor (makecode.microbit.org), you’ll need to add the Bright Board code block menu. The video below shows how to add the menu, or you can follow the steps listed just below the video.
To code the Bright Board using the MS MakeCode editor, you will need to install the Bright Board extension. To add an extension, select Extensions from the Advanced menu.
In the page that appears, enter the word brightboard in the search box press “return”. A listing of approved extensions will appear. Select the “microbit-brightboard’ extension icon to add it to your program.
A new menu named Brightboard will appear in the main MakeCode editor window. This menu contains code blocks to control the LEDs on the Bright Board.
Select the Brightboard menu to see the code blocks which will program the LEDs on the Bright Board. Look for other tutorials in the Learn section of this site to see examples of how to use the code blocks to create your own colors and patterns.
