FAQ
Q1: There is no reaction after pressing the buttons on the Micro:bit.
A1: This is because KOI has a longer boot time than Micro:bit. When the power is turned on, Micro:bit has already ran the code for KOI initialization before KOI is ready.
Solution: Reset your Micro:bit after KOI has been turned on. (The trick is to let KOI power on completely before initialization.)
Q2: Does KOI work with 3V input?
A2: No, KOI only works with 5V.
Q3: Why does the text disappear after a short while?
A3: Since the dislay of the KOI keeps refreshing, the text cannot persist on the screen for a long time. For displaying persisting text, considering connecting an I2C OLED screen.
