It might be awkward for us to directly say “I love you” to our loved ones in Chinese culture, if you have a micro:bit in hand, how could we use it to express our love? Now I am gonna make a heart-beating icon in the micro:bit display as below:

We need a micro:bit, the USB wire and a computer connecting to the internet.

Here are the analysis pictures for each image of the Gif:

Big icon

Small icon

Blank

We need to program in the MakeCode to achieve the flashing gif image:

Create a project in the MakeCode:

Program in the two bricks: On Start and Forever.

1. Show a big icon

2. Pause for 200ms

3. Show a small icon

4. Pause for 200ms

5. Show blank

6. Pause for 200ms
