Description
I have never done anything with the calibrate compass block before and it was a bit jarring to have the "TILT SCREEN" stuff on the microbit when the simulator did not reflect this happening. I thought there was something wrong with my hardware. It would be nice to have the calibration program reflected in the simulator so users know what to expect on the hardware.
