MakeCode Blocks
Kitronik has created custom blocks for the Halo HD ring that can be used in MakeCode. To add these blocks, go to makecode.microbit.org andcreate a new project. Under the "Advanced" section, click on "Extensions". Then type "Halo HD" in the search window and then click on the title to import them into MakeCode. The blocks will be divided into three categories: ZIP LED, microphone and clock. For more information about the MakeCore editor and how to write code using MicroPython, seethe documentation.
