# UART Write
|
||||
|
||||
### ~hint
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
For another device like a smartphone to use any of the Bluetooth "services" which the micro:bit has, it must first connect to the micro:bit.
|
||||
|
||||
### ~
|
||||
|
||||
The [Bluetooth UART service](start-uart-service.md) allows another device such as a smartphone to exchange any data it wants to with the micro:bit, in small chunks.
|
||||
|
||||
With the Bluetooth UART service running, this block allows a micro:bit to send data to a Bluetooth connected device.
|
||||
|
||||
```sig
|
||||
bluetooth.uartWrite("");
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Example: Starting the Bluetooth UART service and then sending "HELLO" whenever button A is pressed and another device has connected over Bluetooth
|
||||
|
||||
```blocks
|
||||
let connected = 0;
|
||||
bluetooth.onBluetoothConnected(() => {
|
||||
basic.showString("C");
|
||||
connected = 1;
|
||||
});
|
||||
bluetooth.onBluetoothDisconnected(() => {
|
||||
basic.showString("D");
|
||||
connected = 0;
|
||||
});
|
||||
bluetooth.startUartService();
|
||||
input.onButtonPressed(Button.A, () => {
|
||||
if (connected == 1) {
|
||||
bluetooth.uartWrite("HELLO");
|
||||
}
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
