[Microbit-Python] Sending an integer by radio

[David Booth]

Hi Danny
Thank you for your suggestion. I appreciate you responding.
In fact I had tried that but got a Type error of None. It has been pointed
out to me that I have to filter out the None return with script like the
following

 radio.on()
    accel_str = None
    while not accel_str:
        accel_str = radio.receive()
    accel = int(accel_str)

And now I have a working system.
Have a happy Christmas
David
