Sending Data to another M:B for data capture

Oct 20, 2020 at 8:49 PM by Kyle Pindar

So i'm trying to utilize the send/receive function. Have just tried to re-use the compass code we just created in class to send the data as the wind changes in direction and therefore the compass reading changes. Do I enter the send radio data after each if statement, or is there some way I can simply enter it once? Have attached the code in reference. Compass Reader

Thanks!

Good morning,

Such a fun project!! I did a re-mix of it so that you will have two micro:bits with different code - the sender and receiver code.

Sender - https://makecode.microbit.org/_iFXAPeijoPFs

Receiver - https://makecode.microbit.org/_1ku92Hf1RhLr

The sender code just sends over the compass heading and then the receiver code will display the direction of the sender compass.

Hope that helps! let me know if you want me to better explain the code or anything.

Thanks! Wasn't sure if I had to recreate the radio coding line for each "if", but now that I see it that wouldn't make sense!! Thanks!

So I've got it going now, but I can't seem to get the live data feed where I can see the graph and/or download the data? I'm hoping that we can capture data and put into G Sheets to analyze now that we've built some databases and learned our way around Sheets. Any advice?

If you use the multi-window editor, you'll also be able to work with both sets of code on the same device, which may make the editing process a bit quicker.
