Hey again.
I have a question, can you give the Micro:bit V2 a 5th input without using a breadboard and wires? This is because of my new invention, the Pedometimer (basically a timer that can also be a pedometer). I’ve been trying to design the pedometer function but I’ve run out of local inputs to use that are on the Micro:bit. Someone please help, thanks.
My code:

>
> Made with ❤️ in Microsoft MakeCode for micro:bit.
I know the name is different forgot to change it before I published it.

Hi
Have a look at …

> The large pins (0,1,2) and the logo (V2 only) on the micro:bit can be configured to know when they are being touched or pressed. The micro:bit V2 is also able to use a different touch mode, which you are able to configure in y...
Maybe this will help ?

@dsssssssss9 thanks a lot, I completely forgot about the fact that the V2 logo can accept different types of inputs, and i also forgot about the pins (I’m too used to the Kitronik Inventor’s Kit just letting me connect my microbit to a breadboard without crocodile clips)

Hi
Not a problem…
It’s one of the joys of the MicroBit, that despite seeming so simplistic, there is always something knew to (re) learn about it ?
Your project sounds great , any chance of updates either here or via YT / blog etc ?

@dsssssssss9 all of my Micro:bit and MakeCode Arcade advancements are usually talked about here on the forum, so no need to worry about YouTube 😃
