The BLE stack alone takes up 12k RAM which means there is little room to run MicroPython and bigger codes. Despite BBC micro:bit having hardware capable of allowing the device to work as a BLE device, it has disadvantage that only has 16k of RAM. With an edge connector more pins can be accessed facilitating connection to other devices. In my previous tutorial here in this blog,I showed how to read temperature with a purpose written app in App Inventor for Android phone that connects to BBC micro:bit through Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). This concludes installation of Arduino, Scilab and Scilab-Arduino toolbox on GNULinux.The Micro Bit also referred to as BBC Micro Bit, stylised as micro:bit is an ARM-based embedded system designed by the BBC for use in computer education. Other GNU distributions can replace apt-get with respective package manager. This concludes installation of Arduino, Scilab and Scilab-Arduino toolbox on Microsoft Windows. If you have Arduino Uno with you then power it by connecting it to your computer using USB cable. You can now continue with Scilab and Scilab-Arduino toolbox installation which doesnt require Arduino Uno board during installation.

If you dont have one, you can still continue remaining steps of Arduino Installation at Scilab-Arduino workshop venue.

Link for a few nearby hotels are given below: Metro Residency Renaissance The Beatle Meluha-The Fern Rodas. Limited number of AC rooms are available on single (Rs 2750 Tax per day) and double (3500 Tax per day). We only have a few seats left for exceptional students, faculty and individuals who would like to take part in this workshop.

The development environment is compatible with Windows and GNULinux based operating systems.
