About Insight Mr Bit Lite

This is the 'Lite' version of Insight Mr Bit which allows you to sample all the features of the full version and edit or build programs with a limited set of features.
With Insight Mr Bit you can create simple programs in plain English to control the BBC micro:bit to do lots of useful things:
• Show images, animations, messages and graphs
• Control external devices and models connected to the micro:bit
• Design and play games
• Make measurements from sensors and do calculations
• Transmit and receive radio signals between two or more micro:bits
• Compose and play musical tunes
You can make the micro:bit do all these things without worrying about complicated code.
You decide on inputs and outputs, Mr Bit offers you choices and uses them to build a program script. You can run the script to see how it works and edit it if it needs adjusting. Then, at the touch of a button, Mr Bit controls the BBC micro:bit via super-fast Bluetooth wireless without the need of connecting wires. In Control mode the iPad screen simultaneously shows how your program is working in the micro:bit. With Transfer mode you can send the program code to the micro:bit allowing it to run independently.
Mr Bit is a valuable tool for developing the logical thinking required in conventional computer languages.

The 'Lite' app comes fully equipped with:
• Tutorials - helping you start building and programming different types of control system
• Exercises – five sample files helping you learn how to create a variety of activities with the BBC micro:bit
• Experiments – four sample files helping you to get started with using external sensors (light and temperature) and controlling devices (LEDs and a buzzer) connected to the BBC micro:bit
• Projects – Ideas for programming a working model of a pelican crossing which you can build and control with the BBC micro:bit
• Example control systems - illustrating different types of programs for the BBC micro:bit

Ideal for Key Stages 2 & 3.
