Spooky Signals: micro:bit Ghost Throwing Challenge

Spooky signals Cover image

Overview​

The Teleporting Ghost project brings coding to life by creating an interactive ghost that can magically travel between two micro:bits! Using the micro:bit's built-in motion sensor and radio capabilities, you will learn how devices can communicate wirelessly while creating a fun and spooky experience.

What you will Learn​

This hands-on project introduces important programming concepts like:

  • Wireless communication between devices
  • Using sensors (accelerometer) to detect motion
  • Creating custom images using LED displays
  • Understanding basic program flow and logic

What you will Need​

NOTE

You do not need a micro:bit to do this tutorial you can use the simulator built into the MakeCode editor.

  • 1 x micro:bit
  • 1 x micro USB cable
  • 1 x battery pack for the micro:bit (optional)

The project is not only entertaining but also demonstrates how modern devices can sense movement and share information wirelessly - the same technology used in everything from video game controllers to smart home devices.
