[Microbit-Python] Using micro-python to send simple radio commands?

[Nevil Hunt]

Thanks Carlos,
 
I hoped it might be in the pipe-line.
 
I look forward to giving it a go!

You can have a look at https://github.com/bbcmicrobit/micropython/pull/283 and the linked PR for the documentation. So, while still working some things out, this feature is definitely in the oven :)

Hi,
 
Whilst I understand that currently Bluetooth can't be used with micro-python due to memory constraints, can micro-python be used to send simple radio commands between a pair of micro:bits?
 
The underlying mbed 'C' programming supports this using
 
uBit.radio.enable
uBit.radio.datagram.send
&
uBit.radio.datagram.recv
 
but to do so in 'C' it is necessary to disable the Bluetooth stack so maybe simple radio commands could be supported from micro-python without running into the memory constraints of using the Bluetooth stack. It would certainly be quite neat if it could be supported!
 
 
Cheers,
