Basic program for your micro:bit to control LED and read push button state using Arduino IDE.

const int BUTTON_B = 11; // The number of the pushbutton pin

long currentMillis = 0;
int interval = 500;
boolean ledState = false;
boolean buttonAPressed = false;
boolean buttonBPressed = false;
void setup()
{
Serial.begin(9600);
Serial.println("microbit is ready!");
pinMode(BUTTON_A, INPUT);
pinMode(BUTTON_B, INPUT);
// Because the LEDs are multiplexed,
// we must ground the opposite side of the LED
pinMode(COL1, OUTPUT);
