Pinout & classroom tips
-
Easy clips: use the 3 large rings (P0, P1, P2) with alligator leads for quick student experiments.
-
Power safety: keep external modules at 3 V; many Arduino-style 5 V sensors need a level shifter.
-
Radio projects: give each team a unique group/channel to avoid cross-talk in class.
-
Saving sketches: store MakeCode projects in the cloud or download .hex files per activity.
