[Microbit-Python] Transmitting Integers by radio

[Nicholas H.Tollervey]

Hi David,

I notice you're not a subscriber to the list. In order to get responses
to your question please subscribe via the link at the bottom of this email.

In any case, to answer your question, you have two choices:

* Send and decode bytes
(https://microbit-micropython.readthedocs.io/en/latest/radio.html#radio.send_bytes)
* Send and decode a string.

We made the simple string based send/receive available since it's very
simple and child friendly. It's actually a wrapper around the bytes
related methods. In either case you're going to have to convert the int
into something else (and back again). In Python that's simply just
str(10) or int("10") for example.

Hope this helps,

N.
