Microbit Module

.. py:module:: microbit

The microbit module gives you access to all the hardware that is built-in into your board.

Functions

.. py:function:: panic(n)

    Enter a panic mode. Requires restart. Pass in an arbitrary integer <= 255
    to indicate a status::

        microbit.panic(255)

.. py:function:: reset()

    Restart the board.

.. py:function:: sleep(n)

    Wait for ``n`` milliseconds. One second is 1000 milliseconds, so::

        microbit.sleep(1000)

    will pause the execution for one second.  ``n`` can be an integer or
    a floating point number.

.. py:function:: running_time()

    Return the number of milliseconds since the board was switched on or
    restarted.

.. py:function:: temperature()

    Return the temperature of the micro:bit in degrees Celcius.
