Yes, then I will probably be the one to make the interpreter, but yes. ---

Alright, @Iro, the text editor is here in extension form. > **[GitHub - Tape567/Text-editor-microbit: Use this extension for a text editor in makecode...](https://github.com/Tape567/Text-editor-microbit)** > > Use this extension for a text editor in makecode arcade for micro:bit. ---

Oh! and @RoboVacDev , I forgot to say, the inputs, are radio, and I made it this way: Keypad: KP-Number/letter here Joystick: JS-UDLR(UpDownLeftRight) ---

So… can you clarify all this. What you need me to do? ---
**Author:** ![Iro](https://sea2.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/user_avatar/forum.makecode.com/iro/32/34749_2.png) [@Iro](https://forum.makecode.com/u/Iro)\ **Post date:** [October 29, 2025, 3:32am UTC](https://forum.makecode.com/t/micro-computer/39757/25 "2025-10-29T03:32:13Z")
So I need a way to input letters numbers and symbols (like for instance, storing those and having a way to display them on a custom size led array), and I coded another microbit to send radio signals from a 4x4 matrix keypad hooked up to it, and I want you to integrate that into the editor (receiving signals for input). ---

Okay when I added the extension, the simulator just died (Like, it said error with extension). ---

Okay, so what I need is the following (in my best text to block visual): Log (“text, number, or symbol here”) Backspace function. Read Log (output text or smth) Read (cord of letter/number/symbol) Clear log Set text color (r g b) and a scroll DOWN function, like a doc or something, to scroll between pages. (add anything you think might be more helpful though, and i am trying for a text log type of thing) ---

Hm… might want to diagnose that. ---

Okay! update! So I got all the parts! or so I thought. turns out, there is one more thing I need to get, and that is a signal booster for the Microbit to communicate to the LEDs. as soon as I get that and get the connection working, I can start the coding! ---

im excited to see how this turns out ---

Thanks 🙂 ! )Oh and also, the actual coding is going to take a while, so if someone could tell me how the neopixel displaying pixel block work, that would speed it up (e.g. how does it order the pixel in the initialization, and how does it decide cords?) ---

This is a really good idea. What can I do to help? ---

Thanks! you could answer the q, and help me develop the interpreter logic (not yet though, bcs I have not made the text editor yet). ---

Update #(idk, 5?): I am working on the cases for the stuff! I am making a wooden case with 3D pen parts (Mostly for the hole and stuff for the microUSB’s and SD card and stuff. Once it is finished I will try to send pics of it all (at least, once the cases are done). ---

Hey guys, Update #6 I have finished the case for the microbit. I am having some troubles getting the microbit to work with the LEDs though. If someone could help that would be nice (Idk what the problem is, but it probably has to do with the code, because all of the connections and power are working, its just… not working). ---
