# Bluetooth

Support for additional Bluetooth services.

### ~hint
![](/static/bluetooth/Bluetooth_SIG.png)

For another device like a smartphone to use any of the Bluetooth "services" which the @boardname@ has, it must first be [paired with the @boardname@](/reference/bluetooth/bluetooth-pairing). Once paired, the other device may connect to the @boardname@ and exchange data relating to many of the @boardname@'s features.

```cards
bluetooth.startAccelerometerService();
bluetooth.startButtonService();
bluetooth.startIOPinService();
bluetooth.startLEDService();
bluetooth.startMagnetometerService();
bluetooth.startTemperatureService();
bluetooth.onBluetoothConnected(() => {});
bluetooth.onBluetoothDisconnected(() => {});
bluetooth.setTransmitPower(7);
```

## UART 

```cards
bluetooth.startUartService();
bluetooth.uartReadUntil("");
bluetooth.uartWriteString("");
bluetooth.uartWriteNumber(0);
bluetooth.uartWriteValue("", 0);
bluetooth.onUartDataReceived(",", () => {})
```

## Eddystone

```cards
bluetooth.advertiseUid(42, 1, 7, true);
bluetooth.advertiseUrl("https://makecode.microbit.org/", 7, true);
bluetooth.stopAdvertising();
```

### Advanced
