# On Bluetooth Connected
|
|
|
|
### ~hint
|
|
|
|
|
|
For another device like a smartphone to use any of the Bluetooth "services" which the micro:bit has, it must first be [paired with the micro:bit](/reference/bluetooth/bluetooth-pairing). Once paired, the other device may connect to the micro:bit and exchange data relating to many of the micro:bit's features.
|
|
|
|
### ~
|
|
|
|
This block starts an [event handler](/reference/event-handler) which in this case will run
|
|
when something connects to your micro:bit using Bluetooth.
|
|
|
|
```sig
|
|
bluetooth.onBluetoothConnected(() => {});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Example
|
|
|
|
You could use this event handler to display a letter "C" on the micro:bit LED grid so you know you have a Bluetooth connection. Or you might want to send some data you've been accumulating to your smartphone as soon as it connects to your micro:bit. Maybe you've been using the accelerometer in your micro:bit to count your steps for example. Using this event handler you could send the accumulated step count to your phone when it establishes a Bluetooth connection.
|
|
|
|
```blocks
|
|
bluetooth.onBluetoothConnected(() => {
|
|
basic.showString("C");
|
|
});
|
|
```
