# Receive Number
|
|
|
|
The broadcast function. #docs #ble #radio
|
|
|
|
Reads the next radio packet as a number data packet.
|
|
|
|
## 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.
