Wearable Computing and More Programming Environments

In the previous chapter, we explored and demonstrated the hardware features of the Micro:bit. We also demonstrated the functionality of many onboard sensors.

We will also learn how to detect a falling movement using similar concepts. Then, we explore an interesting topic known as sewable computing. This includes attaching or sewing computing devices to our clothes and carrying them with us.
