Bluetooth

Support for additional Bluetooth services.

For another device like a smartphone to use any of the Bluetooth “services” which the board has, it must first be paired with the board. Once paired, the other device may connect to the board and exchange data relating to many of the board’s features.

bluetooth.startAccelerometerService();
bluetooth.startButtonService();
bluetooth.startIOPinService();
bluetooth.startLEDService();
bluetooth.startMagnetometerService();
bluetooth.startTemperatureService();
bluetooth.onBluetoothConnected(() => {});
bluetooth.onBluetoothDisconnected(() => {});
bluetooth.setTransmitPower(7);

UART

bluetooth.startUartService();
bluetooth.uartReadUntil("");
bluetooth.uartWriteLine("");
bluetooth.uartWriteString("");
bluetooth.uartWriteNumber(0);
bluetooth.uartWriteValue("", 0);
bluetooth.onUartDataReceived(",", () => {})

Eddystone

bluetooth.advertiseUid(42, 1, 7, true);
bluetooth.advertiseUrl("https://makecode.microbit.org/", 7, true);
bluetooth.stopAdvertising();
