# Set Group
|
||||
|
||||
Sets the group id for ``radio`` communications. A micro:bit can only listen to one group ID at any time.
|
||||
|
||||
Unless specified, the group id is automatically inferred from the script source. Every script with the same exact source code with start with the same group id.
|
||||
|
||||
## Important Security Consideration
|
||||
|
||||
The functions in the ``radio`` namespace allow the BBC micro:bit to communicate with other micro:bits.
|
||||
|
||||
This API does not contain any form of encryption, authentication or authorization. It's purpose is solely for use as a teaching aid to demonstrate how simple communications operates, and to provide a sandpit through which learning can take place.
|
||||
|
||||
For serious applications, BLE should be considered a substantially more secure alternative.
|
||||
|
||||
```sig
|
||||
radio.setGroup(1)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Parameters
|
||||
|
||||
* ``id`` -- a [number](/microbit/number) between ``0`` and ``255``.
|
||||
|
||||
### Example
|
||||
|
||||
Sets the group to 128.
|
||||
|
||||
```blocks
|
||||
radio.setGroup(128)
|
||||
```
|
||||
