Bluetooth

Support for additional Bluetooth services.

~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. Once paired, the other device may connect to the micro:bit and exchange data relating to many of the micro:bit's features.
