Description
This app establishes a channel between two micro:bit devices. The channel will be handeled as UART communication. You have to develope a programm on each micro:bit device with UART transfer.Indication aktive: BLE Indication (Default)

Silent aktive: No visual logging
Silent inaktive: Logging

- Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE)
- Paired devices
- micro:bit programm (developed by yourself)
MBED example:
#include "MicroBit.h"
#include "MicroBitUARTService.h"
MicroBit uBit;
MicroBitUARTService *uart;
int connected = 0;
void onConnected(MicroBitEvent e)
{
uBit.display.scroll("C");
connected = 1;
}
void onDisconnected(MicroBitEvent e)
{
uBit.display.scroll("D");
connected = 0;
}
void onButtonA(MicroBitEvent e)
{
if (connected == 0) {
uBit.display.scroll("NC");
return;
}
uart->send("Yes");
uBit.display.scroll("Y");
}
void onButtonB(MicroBitEvent e)
{
if (connected == 0) {
uBit.display.scroll("NC");
return;
}
uart->send("No");
uBit.display.scroll("N");
}
void onButtonAB(MicroBitEvent e)
{
if (connected == 0) {
uBit.display.scroll("NC");
return;
}
uart->send("SK");
uBit.display.scroll("SK");
}
void processBLEUart() {
uint8_t readBuf[22];
while (1) { // loop for ever
if ((!connected) || (!uart->isReadable())) {
uBit.sleep(50); // wait 50mS and check again
continue; // loop;
}
//else we are connected AND there is some input to read
if (uart->isReadable()) {
while (uart->isReadable()) {
int charCount = uart->read(readBuf, 22, ASYNC);
if (charCount != 0) {
for (int i = 0; i < charCount; i++)
uBit.display.scroll((char) readBuf[i]);
}
}
}
}
}
/*
IMPORTANT !!!
Oherwise you will run out of memory !
Recommend disabling the DFU and Event services in MicroBitConfig.h since they are not needed here:
microbit->microbit-dal->inc->core->MicroBitConfig.h
#define MICROBIT_BLE_DFU_SERVICE 0
#define MICROBIT_BLE_EVENT_SERVICE 0
#define MICROBIT_SD_GATT_TABLE_SIZE 0x500
*/
int main()
{
// Initialise the micro:bit runtime.
uBit.init();
uBit.messageBus.listen(MICROBIT_ID_BLE, MICROBIT_BLE_EVT_CONNECTED, onConnected);
uBit.messageBus.listen(MICROBIT_ID_BLE, MICROBIT_BLE_EVT_DISCONNECTED, onDisconnected);
uBit.messageBus.listen(MICROBIT_ID_BUTTON_A, MICROBIT_BUTTON_EVT_CLICK, onButtonA);
uBit.messageBus.listen(MICROBIT_ID_BUTTON_B, MICROBIT_BUTTON_EVT_CLICK, onButtonB);
uBit.messageBus.listen(MICROBIT_ID_BUTTON_AB, MICROBIT_BUTTON_EVT_CLICK, onButtonAB);
uart = new MicroBitUARTService(*uBit.ble, 32, 32);
uBit.display.scroll("Go");
create_fiber(&processBLEUart); // create fiber and schedule it.
release_fiber();
}

Questions & Answers
Q: What is an APK File?
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.
