Wireless Remote Weather Station with micro:bit

Contributors: bboyho

Introduction

In this tutorial, we will utilize MakeCode's radio blocks to have one micro:bit transmit a signal to a receiving micro:bit on the same channel! This is useful if your weather station is installed in a location that is difficult to retrieve data from the OpenLog. We will explore a few different ways to send and receive data.
