STEP 1: Let's start our project by setting the background image and choosing a sprite.
In this lesson, we've set up a grid to help you find your way around. You'll also see sprites appear behind-the-scenes.
Normally, you will not see the coordinate plane on the stage, but you will still be able to use it to move sprites around.

Try the following steps to connect to your Micro:bit:
1. You may need to reload this page and try your program again.
2. Try disconnecting and reconnecting your Micro:bit. Then reload the page and run your program again.
3. If you are still having problems your Micro:bit may have an old firmware version that is incompatible with Codesters.
To update the firmware follow these Micro:bit instructions.
Are you already running a Codesters project in another tab or window?
Micro:bit can only connect to one web page at a time. Try stopping other Codesters projects or closing other tabs or windows that may be using your Micro:bit.
If that doesn't fix the problem try disconnecting your Micro:bit, reloading this page, and reconnecting your Micro:bit.
