Updating your firmware and pairing the micro:bit
Hi Everyone,
I'm excited to be learning and sharing with everyone during the course. I have been requested to share these videos to support your use of the micro:bit.
First is to make sure the micro:bit is up to date to use. You need to grab the latest firmware from the micro:bit website here.
and then you can use this video to update the firmware.
After updating the micro:bit, you can then pair the micro:bit with your web browser to use the one-click download feature. Pairing the micro:bit
Enjoy!

Thanks for sharing these Andrew! I wish I'd seen them about a week ago. A bunch of my students went through the process of figuring this out, but we didn't have these super helpful tutorials.
I'll just have to bookmark them for the next time I have to pair some micro:bits!
Not a problem!! I am planning a french version... if I can do it this week!
Thanks for the feedback - great to know that people are liking them.
A French version would be great, Andrew! I teach French immersion, and it's often difficult to find quality videos for teaching coding in French. I'll definitely be bookmarking!

Ok, I guess I really need to do a French one now!! Thanks for the encouragement. What other videos would be useful?
I'm really pleased at how everyone is diving in to help everyone! We are definitely growing a m:b support community!
