micro:bit UART Terminal on PC
micro:bit UART Terminal, coming from the developer Ferdinand Stueckler, is running on Android systerm in the past.
Now, You can play micro:bit UART Terminal on PC with GameLoop smoothly.
Download it in the GameLoop library or search results. No more eyeing the battery or frustrating calls at the wrong time any more.
Just enjoy micro:bit UART Terminal PC on the large screen for free!
micro:bit UART Terminal Introduction
This app communicates between Android and a micro:bit device. You can transmit and receive text in 'notification' or 'indication' mode. The UART communication also has to be implemented at the micro:bit device (Block, Javascript, MBED).
Options:
- Indication: Default micro:bit mode (otherwise notification mode)
- LF: Linefeed added
- CR: Carriage return added
Requirements:
- Min. Android 5
- Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE)
- Paired devices
- micro:bit programm (developed by yourself)
V 2.1: Copy to Clipboard (Option Menu)
V 2.2: Clear List (Option Menu), No Log Option
V 2.5: Hex Mode
MBED example:
#include "MicroBit.h"
#include "MicroBitUARTService.h"
#include "BMP180.h"
MicroBit uBit;
MicroBitUARTService *uart;
BMP180 bmp180(P0_30, P0_0);
char buffer[80];
float pressure,temperature;
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)
{
uBit.display.scroll(buffer);
}
void onButtonB(MicroBitEvent e)
{
uBit.display.scroll("SK");
}
/*
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
*/

if (bmp180.ReadData(&temperature,&pressure))
sprintf(buffer, "%.2f C %4.0f hPa", temperature, pressure);
