Step 1 of 2: Select Your Kira Sections

Constructor that creates an object corresponding to a Finch. This method assumes that the Finch is the only device connected in the BlueBird Connector.

Constructor that creates an object corresponding to a Finch. This method requires a string equal to ‘A’, ‘B’, or ‘C’ that specifies the letter of the device in the BlueBird Connector.

Returns a list that contains the Finch acceleration in m/s2 in the x, y, and z directions.

Takes a string corresponding to a micro:bit button ('A','B', or 'Logo') and returns a Boolean value that is True if the button is being pressed, and False otherwise. The Logo button is only present on a micro:bit V2, so this option cannot be used with a micro:bit V1.

Returns the direction of the Finch in degrees from magnetic north (0°-359°). The compass should be calibrated in the BlueBird Connector before using this method.

Returns the distance in centimeters to the closest object.

Takes a string corresponding to a direction ('R' for right or 'L' for left) and returns the value measured by the corresponding Finch encoder. The encoder measurement is the number of rotations that the wheel has turned since resetEncoders() was last called.

Takes a string corresponding to a direction ('R' for right or 'L' for left) and returns the intensity measured by the corresponding Finch light sensor. The light measurement is an integer between 0 and 100 (arbitrary units).

Takes a string corresponding to a direction ('R' for right or 'L' for left) and returns the intensity measured by the corresponding Finch line tracking sensor. The line measurement is an integer between 0 and 127 (arbitrary units).

Returns a list that contains the value of the magnetic field in µT in the x, y, and z directions. The compass should be calibrated in the BlueBird Connector before using this method.

Returns a string that represents the orientation of the Finch. The possible values are ‘Beak up’, ‘Beak down’, ‘Tilt left’, ‘Tilt right’, ‘Level’, ‘Upside down’, and ‘In between’.

Returns the sound measured by the micro:bit. The sound measurement is an integer between 0 and 100 (arbitrary units). This function can only be used with the micro:bit V2.

Returns the temperature in degrees Celsius measured by the micro:bit. This function can only be used with the micro:bit V2.

Returns True if the Finch is shaking and False otherwise.

Plays a note using the buzzer on the Finch. The method requires an integer representing the note (32-135) and a number giving the number of beats (0-16). The number of beats can be a decimal number. One beat corresponds to one second.

Print a string on the micro:bit LED array. The string must have 15 or fewer characters and should contain only digits and English letters (upper or lower case).

Sets the value of both Finch encoders to 0.

Sets a tri-color LED in the Finch beak to a given color by set-ting the intensities of the red, green, and blue elements inside it. The method requires three intensity values from 0-100. Setting all three intensity values to 0 turns the beak off.

Sets the LED array of the micro:bit to display a pattern defined by a list of length 25. Each value in the list must be 0 (off) or 1 (on). The first five values in the array correspond to the five LEDs in the first row, the next five values to the second row, etc.

Sets the Finch wheels to spin at the given speeds. The method requires two speeds between -100 and 100 for the left and right wheels. Setting the speed to 0 turns the motor off.

Moves the Finch forward or backward for a specified distance at a specified speed. The method requires a direction (‘F’ for forward or ‘B’ for backward), a distance in centimeters, and a speed from 0-100.

Turn on or off a single LED on the micro:bit display. The position of the LED is given by the row and column parameters, which should both be between 1 and 5. The value of the LED must be 0 (off) or 1 (on).

Sets a tri-color LED in the Finch tail to a given color by set-ting the intensities of the red, green, and blue elements inside it. The method requires the port number of the LED (1, 2, 3, 4, or “all”) and three intensity values from 0-100. Setting all three intensity values to 0 turns the LED off.

Turns the Finch right or left for a specified angle at a specified speed. The method requires a direction (‘R’ for right or ‘L’ for left), an angle in degrees, and a speed from 0-100.

Stops all outputs. This includes the LED display for the micro:bit and all lights and motors for the Finch.

Code successful

This is what an error looks like. The console tells you what type of error there is and where to find it in your code.

Error output

You can view your instructions and code block definitions here whenever you’d like.

Instructions & commands

Pepper needs to place an egg in the current location. Have Pepper put down an egg.

Solve: put down an egg

Now that Pepper is facing the correct direction, have them swim forward one cell.

Solve: swim forward

You’re almost there. Pepper needs to enter the cell in front them to reach the target state.

Now, let’s try to actually solve this finch activity. Have Pepper swim forward one cell but not off the world.

Have Pepper turn left from the direction they’re currently facing.

Solve: turn pepper to their left

Let’s go over how to test code. Have Pepper swim forward one cell.

Trial and Error: Swim Forward

Now, let’s go over what happens when you encounter an error in your code. Have the finch swim forward one more cell.
