Trying to programme my MiniBit...


Block editor for MicroBit says it requires a .mkcd or a .hex file. 

.mckd - MakeCode Programme. 

https://makecode.com/language

 


Key file on Github would seem to be Typescript


But I can't find a way to go from Typescript to .mkcd


Turns out, all I need to do was search for MiniBit in the extensions...

Web code editing...

 Looking at Jet Brains. 

Free educational licence: https://www.jetbrains.com/community/education/#students

Trying Webstorm.


Need to integrate into Github... 

Resource here to do that: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/webstorm/github.html#register-account

Can I make this work well?


Webstorm then asks for a link to Github. 

Fine. 

Brings it down. 

Make an edit. 

Preview: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/webstorm/editing-html-files.html#ws_html_preview_output_built_in_browser


Then try to upload... 

Needed to set up a token to integrate Webstorm and Github. 

Yes, it works. 

Very happy. Need to add more code and repeat the cycle of work.
