Introduction<\/h3>\n

Often when we are using Microbits we want them to be able to communicate with each other. This can be done easily using the radio menu blocks<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Setting the radio group (channel)<\/strong><\/p>\n

The first thing we need to set is the group. In the classroom there might be lots of different Microbits sending signals so we can ours to only send and receive on a certain channel.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Sending messages<\/strong><\/p>\n

Once we have set our channel (usually in the start block) we can send different signals, for instance strings (text)\u00a0 or integers(whole numbers)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you\u00a0 have a more complicated program you can always use dictionary (key – value pairs) style messages if you need more advanced control.<\/p>\n

Receiving messages<\/strong><\/p>\n

When a message is received by another Microbit it is handled by the on radio received<\/strong> blocks.<\/p>\n
