Breadboard Setup and Testing for micro:bit

CYBERscope Voltmeter

Now let’s try out the CYBERscope page’s voltmeter display.

  • If you do not already have the micro:bit Python Editor open, browse to python.microbit.org in a Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge browser.
  • If the measure_volts script is not currently open in the micro:bit Python Editor, click Open, select, and open measure_volts.hex.
  • In the measure_volts script, change voltmeter(device=”Terminal”) to voltmeter(device=”CYBERscope”).  
  • Use the Send to micro:bit button to flash the modified script into your micro:bit module.
  • Click the Send to micro:bit button’s More menu.  It’s three vertical dots  ⋮  by the Send to micro:bit button.  Select Disconnect.

  • Open a new browser tab and go to cyberscope.parallax.com.  
  • In the CYBERscope tab, click the Connect buttton.  

  • In the serial port dialog that appears, click the row with mbed in its name to select it, and then click Connect.

  • Verify that the CYBERscope display resembles this:

  • Try repeating the measurements from the Tests and Try This sections with this voltmeter display.

Don’t forget to save your work.

  • Change the Script Name to measure_volts_with_cyberscope, then click the Save button.
