Functionality

micro:bit A Button

  • Cycle through the three different time periods programmed.

  • Each time the period is represented by a lit LED on the micro:bit.

  • The time periods are:

    • Recent Past.

    • Immediate Future.

    • Near Future.

micro:bit B Button

  • Cycle through years within the time period.

  • Each year is represented by a lit LED on the micro:bit.

micro:bit A+B Buttons

  • Toggle between low and high-temperature scenarios for Period 2 and Period 3.

Neopixel Ring

  • LEDs on the ring represent:

    • The top part of the ring represents the different provinces

    • The bottom part of the ring represents three different messages:

      • 🔵 Blue = safe

      • 🟠 Orange = caution

      • 🔴 Red = danger
