A Device That Counts Your Steps

Making this pedometer will allow you to know how many steps you take per day, transcribed into kilometres according to your walking speed.

You only have to store it in your coat or bag pocket to count your steps.

The Accelerometer will be used in this program. It is a sensor that measures movement. The accelerometer of your microbit card detects when you tilt it from left to right, from front to back and from top to bottom. It corresponds to the two small dots at the top of the map

If you have a problem or a question with this program, please, tell me as soon as possible.
