Puff Switch and Microbit Programming Quiz

What is the primary function of a puff switch?

• To control devices using hand gestures

• To control devices by blowing into a straw

• To control devices using foot pedals

• To control devices using voice commands

Which of the following is NOT a potential application of a puff switch?

• Operating smartphones

• Controlling motorized wheelchairs

• Playing musical instruments

• Navigating computers

What happens when a closed circuit is detected by the microbit?

• The microbit sends a wireless signal

• The microbit vibrates

• The microbit lights up and plays a sound

• The microbit shuts down

What material is used to create the conductive part of the puff switch?

• Aluminum foil

• Plastic sheets

• Steel plates

• Copper wire

Why is it important to consider the weight and stiffness of the alligator clips in the puff switch design?

• They can prevent the aluminum foil from moving freely

• They can interfere with the microbit's programming

• They can make the device too expensive

• They can cause the circuit to overheat

In the MakeCode environment, what is the purpose of the 'set pull pin' block?

• To initialize the microbit's display

• To set the initial state of a pin

• To start a timer

• To reset the microbit

What does the 'if else' statement in the microbit program check for?

• The connection status of pin zero

• The speed of the microbit's processor

• The battery level of the microbit

• The temperature around the microbit

How can you customize the microbit's response when the puff switch is activated?

• By selecting different icons and sounds

• By modifying the microbit's shape

• By adjusting the volume of the speaker

• By changing the color of the LEDs

What is the advantage of using a graphical programming environment like MakeCode?

• It is only compatible with microbit

• It simplifies coding with drag-and-drop blocks

• It allows for text-based coding only

• It requires no internet connection

What should you do if you want to change the microbit's code after downloading it?

• Replace the microbit with a new one

• Reboot the microbit

• Reinstall the MakeCode software

• Modify the code and redownload it
