BLE UART for micro:bit in the next release

[Ghica]

Hi, I have made a tutorial a while ago about BLE, UART and Micro:bit:
part 1:

App Inventor, Micro:bit and UART

App Inventor, Micro:bit and UART Somehow, communicating with a micro:bit via UART is more difficult than it should be. For now, using the extensions as indicated in this tutorial, will ensure that everything works. This tutorial is intended to show how to use Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) to send messages to a micro:bit. This can be used to control a toy robot car or any device that uses a micro:bit as its brain. This first part will only cover the basic communication with a micro:bit via BLE. A…

and part2:

Controlling a Ringbit car with a micro:bit via BLE and UART

This is the second part of a tutorial about BLE, micro:bits and UART. I assume that you have seen and understood the first part, to be found here: https://community.appinventor.mit.edu/t/app-inventor-micro-bit-and-uart/ This is the Ringbit car: [IMG_20211105_134808851][IMG_20211105_134837720] It costs about $25, not including a micro:bit v2, which should cost less than $20. It is fairly easy to assemble, but it does not look very sturdy. There are many alternatives available in a similar p…

Maybe there is still something in it that interests you, and yes, good integration of UART into the BLE and micro:bit extensions is long overdue.
