Using the Micro:bit radio

Broadcast radio

Sending accelerometer data:

from microbit import *
import radio

radio.on()
radio.config(power=7,queue=10)

while True:
    x,y,z = accelerometer.get_values()
    radio.send("A,%d,%d,%d,%d,%d,%d" % (x,y,z,pin0.is_touched(),pin1.is_touched(),pin2.is_touched()))
    sleep(100)

Receiving accelerometer data:

from microbit import *
import radio

radio.on()
radio.config(queue=20)
while True:
   data = radio.receive()
   if data:
      print("%s" % data, end="\n")
   sleep(150)

Two way radio

from microbit import *
# must include these two lines to use the radio
import radio
radio.on()

# any channel from 0 to 100 can be used for privacy.
radio.config(channel=99)

while True:
    if button_a.was_pressed():
        # send this message over the radio. Up to 32 bytes OK.
        radio.send('HAPPY')
        sleep(200)
    if button_b.was_pressed():
        radio.send('SAD')
        sleep(200)
    # if there's a message in the queue, retrieve it. Up to 3 messages
    # can be in the queue at once, and if it's full, messages are dropped.
    msg = radio.receive()
    # ALWAYS CHECK for None..
    if msg != None:
    # as long as there is a message, display something
        if msg == 'HAPPY':
            display.show(Image.HAPPY)
            sleep(200)
            display.clear()
        elif msg == 'SAD':
            display.show(Image.SAD)
            sleep(200)
             display.clear()
