I must be doing something wrong but when I run the examples from the Core website, the display is SOOO SLOW. I’m talking minutes to do the wave forms example and Many minutes to do the animation example of the square moving around the screen. Seriously, it’s like watching the minute hand of a clock move. Any ideas where I went wrong?

Hi Paul,

Which version of the microbit did you have and are you running anything else on there(Wireless, the front LED panel)?
