[Microbit-Python] Sending an integer by radio

[David Booth]

Hi Thierry
Thank you very much for you reply.  In my case I need to send a range of
integers from -1023 to +1023 and it has been pointed out to me that I have
to do more than convert them to a string and on reception convert them to
an integer because if I do just that I get a Type error of None. This is
the receiving script snippet which has been suggested and works should you
ever have the need.


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

Thanks again
Have a happy Christmas.
David
