The receiver program uses just one ``||radio:on radio received||`` event to record the values. The ``name`` and the ``value`` are parameters for the event block so both temperature and light values are received here.

If you're recording data to save on a computer for analysis or other uses outside of the MakeCode editor, you can use the ``||radio:radio write received packet to serial||`` block to format it for you. This function will format the data from the received packet into a [JSON](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JSON) string and write it to the serial port, all in one operation. It's used just like this:
```blocks
radio.onDataPacketReceived(() => {
radio.onReceivedNumber(function (receivedNumber) {
radio.writeReceivedPacketToSerial();
});
