# On Gamepad Button

Register code to run when the micro:bit receives a command from the paired gamepad.

## Bluetooth required

The functions in the ``devices`` namespace allow the BBC micro:bit to communicate with a separate (remote) device, such as a smartphone, over Bluetooth (Smart).

The set of supported events will depend on the remote device and the BBC micro:bit apps available for the remote device.
