Activity 03.03: Which Way Home?

Goal: Create a program that prints your current bearing.

Success Criteria:

• The micro:bit runs the program with no errors
• Your program is an infinite loop that displays the direction you are facing in the console

Task:

• Take a look at this demo
• Use the documentation
• Fill in the blanks below
• A Tricky Challenge: Use the documentation to find a function that converts the integer from getBearing() into N, E, S or W, then print this instead of the integer

Extension:

• Try to answer the question, what way home?
• What is your bearing from where you are now to the front door?
• What is your bearing from the front door to where you were sitting?
• What is your bearing from where you are now toyour school reception?
• Experiment with some other bearings
