Bluetooth Magnetometer Service
The Bluetooth Magnetometer Service enables smartphones and other devices to wirelessly receive data from the micro:bit's magnetometer. This service allows users to measure the strength and direction of magnetic fields, effectively turning the micro:bit into a digital compass. Once paired with a smartphone, users can create applications that display real-time directional data, enhancing various projects and applications.
Key Features:
- Wireless Data Exchange: Connects smartphones to the micro:bit for seamless data transfer.
- Real-time Updates: Provides live updates on the direction of travel based on magnetic fields.
- Easy Integration: No additional code is required on the micro:bit to utilize this service.
Use Cases:
- Develop smartphone applications that utilize the micro:bit as a compass.
- Create educational tools for teaching navigation and geography concepts.
- Enhance interactive projects that require directional data, such as games or robotics.
