Go to there to watch how the Accountbilibuddy work.


  • Shake the micro:bit to count step. Put micro:bit in the jean pocket while walking will count your steps.
  • Click B to sent number of step to the receiver.
  • Click A and B to reset the micro:bit transmitter.


The receiver will receive different message based on the number of steps received.

If less than 10 steps, little heart will show, sound will make, and yellow LED will light up.

Steps between 10 and 15, big heart will show, sound will make, and green LED will light up.

If more than 15 steps, smiley face will show, music will play, and green LED will flash a few times.



The number of steps can be adjusted in the code for micro:bit step counter/transmitter.
