Micro:bit Timer Functionality

The video tutorial explains how to use a timer on the Micro:bit by accessing advanced settings and control settings. It demonstrates creating a timer using variables and button inputs, testing the timer's accuracy, and adjusting it as needed. The tutorial concludes with practical applications of the timer and encourages viewers to experiment with the Micro:bit's capabilities.

What is the first step to use the timer on the micro:bit?

• Start the program

• Press button A

• Go into the advanced settings

• Access the basic settings

What does the 'milli' represent in the micro:bit timer?

• Milliseconds until the program ends

• Milliseconds of the current time

• Milliseconds since the last button press

• Milliseconds since the start of the program

How can you display the elapsed time using the micro:bit?
