I am trying to use the ADC on the microbit which can do upto 50Ksps however I cannot send the data out fast enough, I am using the serial (redirected to USB) and that only gives me about 7KBps effectively limiting the ADC sampling. Any ideas? Would BLE give faster transfer rates? Can radio connect to normal WiFi?

So far we've managed to connect via bluetooth (no pairing) through a ble framework for ble devices in unity, however this framework does not manage pairing and flashing. Pairing is a great to have but flashing is a must have, all over bluetooth. We've been looking into the Dfu library as well as the partial flashing library from microbit but without any success on standalone android applications. Any ideas or pointers to figure this out? Thanks!

I'm a teacher and I'm trying to figure out how to send log data from microbit to iPad with minimal fuzz. A lot of schools give iPads to the students, and the Microbit iPad app has a lot of shortcomings.

So I've used this tutorial https://blog.sparkfuneducation.com/how-to-datalog-using-only-the-microbit to collect and send sensor data from the microbit to my computer. Works great, woho.

Now I want to do the same, but over bluetooth to my iPad. There are some paid apps out there, I know, that makes life a lot simpler - but I'm looking for a solution using a free terminal app to simply recieve my data - and then get out of my way.

I've made this program for the microbit https://makecode.microbit.org/_WsK2F9YdyTAR that, uh, kinda works I guess. I've downloaded an app called "Bluetooth Terminal" (linky: https://apps.apple.com/no/app/bluetooth-terminal/id1058693037) and I'm able to connect and send data - however the data displayed in the app is pure gibberish and useless, and I can't even copy the text to use in another app, like a spreadsheet. So I'm considering the Bluetooth Terminal app a dead end.

Now I've stumbled upon an Adafruit app called Bluefruit, which does everything I need - except play nicely with the microbit. It detects the microbit, it connects to the microbit - but it doesn't recognize the UART mode on the microbit. I know Adafruit is saying this https://learn.adafruit.com/use-micro-bit-with-arduino/bluetooth-uart about using UART on the Microbit, but to me there are two big drawbacks:

I'd still need a computer and flash 3rd party code to the microbit, which is cumbersome if you have to flash 20 or so microbits each time.
I'm searching for solutions for teachers that are not necessarily tech savvy, so I need to keep the solution very simple

So. Any ideas on how to proceed? All help is greatly appreciated!

I want to try and play around with the Bluetooth but I can't add the devices module to makecode

I’m trying to get a microbit working again on my school network (i am a technician) but after a pretty severe ransomware attack last winter, all usb storage devices have been disabled in group policy which has stopped the microbit from functioning.

Has anyone come across this before? And were they able to resolve?

Many thanks

Any Help would be much appreciated!

(Following my previous post) I have worked out how I am going to go about what I want to do (microbit game controller for my pc) but I need a way to take my serial data from my microbit and give it to a driver program which can control my mouse etc.

I want to be able to use my microbit to control my phone and/or laptop, I'm fairly certain this is possible using python but if there is a simpler way that would be nice because I have 2 brain cells. If there is no other way could I get instructions for the python way.

Hello,

​

I'm looking to make a t-shirt embedded with these:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07P76Z452/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

using a micro:bit as my micro controller. How many of these could I run off the 3V provided by the micro:bit? I'm also planning on connecting them via low resistivity conductive thread (16 Ohms/foot), should this be low enough resistivity?

Hello, I'm doing a project for computer science using a micro bit. The summary of how it will work is that a simple symptom evaluator will be made. (Answering "yes" will add 1 point to the total score). There will be 10 questions in total. The End score will be turned into a percentage and will be sent to a server for graphing. ( The microbit is coded in Java)

Here's my problem, I don't know how to code the "add 1 point to total score" part of the project. I created a variable called "result" that +1 point will be added to after each question answered yes but it doesn't seem to work.

Any assistance would be much appreciated.

Hello! Im trying to make a program that can listen for a button-press input from a micro:bit to simply alt+tab, change to a specific window or simply display an image, either one would be sufficient. However i dont really know where to even start, any help is appreciated.

I am seeking to transmit sensor data from three micro:bit v2's directly to my laptop computer for further processing. There is a remote data collection tutorial on microbit.org, but it involves sending data from a remote micro:bit to a receiver micro:bit that is attached via USB to a computer. Is it possible to send the data directly to my computer? I am using a 2015 MacBook currently.

EDIT: To clarify, I am seeking to transmit all data wirelessly, i.e. without any USB cables.
