# received Signal Strength
|
|
|
|
Find how strong the radio signal is.
|
|
|
|
```sig
|
|
radio.receivedSignalStrength();
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## ~ hint
|
|
|
|
**Deprecated**
|
|
|
|
This API has been deprecated! Use [received packet](/reference/radio/received-packet) instead.
|
|
|
|
## ~
|
|
|
|
Find how strong the ``radio`` signal is, from `-128` to `-42`.
|
|
(`-128` means a weak signal and `-42` means a strong one.)
|
|
|
|
The @boardname@ finds the signal strength by checking how strong it was
|
|
the last time it ran the
|
|
[on received number](/reference/radio/on-received-number) function. That means
|
|
it needs to run **receive number** first.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Returns
|
|
|
|
* a [number](/types/number) between `-128` and `-42` that means
|
|
how strong the signal is.
|
|
|
|
## Simulator
|
|
|
|
This function only works on the @boardname@, not in browsers.
|
|
|
|
## Example
|
|
|
|
This example shows how strong the radio signal of the
|
|
[light level sender example](/reference/radio/send-number) is.
|
|
|
|
```blocks
|
|
let x = 0;
|
|
radio.setGroup(99);
|
|
basic.forever(() => {
|
|
x = radio.receiveNumber();
|
|
basic.showNumber(radio.receivedSignalStrength());
|
|
});
|
|
```
