Functionality

micro:bit A Button

• Move forward to different years from 2009 to 2019.

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

micro:bit B Button

• Move back to different years from 2009 to 2019.

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

Neopixel

• One of the rows of the neopixel has colour lights representing different levels.

  • 🔵 blue - No change.

  • 🟢 green - Safe.

  • 🟡 yellow - Caution.

  • 🔴 red - Danger.

• Once the project is assembled, the neopixel LEDs will light up points in each province on the map pre-printed on the cardstock sheet.
