Here is a fun experiment to investigate the Radio functions on the BBC Micro:bit. You will need 2 Micro:bits, one of them part of a :MOVE mini robot from Kitronics. The resulting remote isn’t the most responsive, and there are many ways that you can tweak and improve this recipe, so use it as a starting point for better things.

If you need help using and sending files to the Micro:bits, check out our Micro:bit Startup Notes page.

Ingredients:

• Kitronics :MOVE mini with Micro:bit installed
