Send Value

Send a string and number together by radio to other micro:bits.

Parameters

Simulator

This function only works on the micro:bit, not in browsers.

Example: Broadcasting acceleration

This program sends your micro:bit's acceleration (amount it is speeding up or slowing down) in the x direction (left and right) to other micro:bits. This kind of program might be useful in a model car or model rocket.

input.onButtonPressed(Button.A, () => {
    radio.sendValue("acc",input.acceleration(Dimension.X))
})

This program receives the string and number sent by the last program. Then it shows them on the LED screen.

radio.onDataReceived(() => {
	basic.showString(radio.receiveString());
    basic.showNumber(radio.receiveNumber());
});
