If you want to move to the next level with your BBC Micro:Bit then using Visual Studio and Arduino is a great way to learn, whilst using industry standard tools. More information and links below....
If you are just starting with a Micro:Bit but don't want to use block style programming, or just want to code more, then Visual Studio and Arduino can open the next door on your journey.
In this video we show you how to get your Micro:Bit setup for flashing via the USB lead, and the board packages needed, so you can get an LED blinking from your code in no time....
We will be adding more videos on this topic in the near future to expand into further IO on board, as well as the debugging options available, so you have all the tools you need to complete your project, or learn more about this amazing educational board.
