UART Write String

~hint

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@. Once paired, the other device may connect to the @boardname@ and exchange data relating to many of the @boardname@'s features.

~

The Bluetooth UART service allows another device such as a smartphone to exchange any data it wants to with the @boardname@, in small chunks.

With the Bluetooth UART service running, this block allows a @boardname@ to send data to a Bluetooth connected device.

bluetooth.uartWriteString("");

Example: Starting the Bluetooth UART service and then sending "HELLO" whenever button A is pressed and another device has connected over Bluetooth

let connected = 0;
bluetooth.onBluetoothConnected(() => {
    basic.showString("C");
    connected = 1;
});
bluetooth.onBluetoothDisconnected(() => {
    basic.showString("D");
    connected = 0;
});
input.onButtonEvent(Button.A, ButtonEvent.Down, () => {
    if (connected == 1) {
        bluetooth.uartWriteString("HELLO");
    }
});
