Send String

Sends a string to other Calliope minis in the area connected by radio. The maximum string length is 19 characters.

radio.sendString("Hello!")

Parameters

Example: Two-way radio

If you load this program onto two or more Calliope minis, you can send a code word from one of them to the others by pressing button A. The other Calliope minis will receive the code word and then show it.

input.onButtonPressed(Button.A, () => {
    radio.sendString("Codeword: TRIMARAN")
    basic.showString("SENT");
})

radio.onDataPacketReceived(({ receivedString }) => {
    basic.showString(receivedString);
});

A radio that can both transmit and receive is called a transceiver.
