A post about my tinkering with a BBC micro:bit over Xmas 2015.
Meet Mei-Xiu
Sent to me by its previous host, Stewart Watkiss :)
Haven't flashed the device yet so it looks like the robot controlling hex is still loaded.

Environment setup
Started using upyed
and Tom Viner's very convenient upyflashed
. The tool was exiting with a trace in the event of no hex files being available, so I opened a PR to make this a bit better.
EDIT: Turns out my "fix" was skipping the sleep
step which caused the loop cycles to be a bit too fast. Good thing Tom caught that ;)

Bye Mei-Xiu!
I'm packing Mei-Xiu today to send to its next host, Päivi Suomela. I'm really looking forward to seeing her next adventures :)
Follow the rest of her trip on the microworld tour website!
