Write Value To Serial

Note: This API has been deprecated! Use write received packet to serial instead.

Writes the data received by radio to serial in JSON format.

radio.writeValueToSerial();

Data received format

The format for received data printed to serial is as follows:

• send number: {v:ValueSent,t:MicrobitTimeAlive,s:SerialNumber}
• send value: {v:ValueSent,t:MicrobitTimeAlive,s:SerialNumber,n:"Name"}
• send string: {t:MicrobitTimeAlive,s:SerialNumber,n:"Text"}

Examples

When radio data is received (after pressing the A button on the second @boardname@), this program sends temperature data to serial.

input.onButtonPressed(Button.A, () => {
    radio.sendNumber(input.temperature());
});
radio.onDataReceived(() => {
    radio.writeValueToSerial();
});

Sample output to serial when A button pressed:

{v:27,t:323,s:0}
