[Microbit-Python] micro:bit - communications with a PC

Here's something I had a go with for two microbits and a PC.

https://github.com/loopspace/microbit/tree/master/turtle

mb_radio_sender.py is for the free-standing microbit.  It takes readings 
from various sensors and packages them into a message.

mb_radio_receiver.py is for the microbit connected to the PC, it simply 
receives messages and prints them out through the USB.

turtleclient.py is for the PC, it reads from the serial port and then 
decodes the message which it uses for instructions to a turtle.  You'll 
need to change the serial port on line 7.

(the other files were part of experimenting)

It needs a couple of libraries: pySerial and numpy (turtle seems to be 
part of the python3 package, but if not you'd need to install that too)

Best,
Andrew
