Is there any experience connecting CyberPi / mBot2 wirelessly with micro:bit or Kittenbot for IoT projects?
mBot2 / CyberPi - WiFi/Bluetooth connection with micro:bit and kittenbot?

Hi Forain,
The possibility would have been in the local version but unfortunately there is nothing in the extensions. You will have to communicate with a cable

micro:bit is able to work as a Bluetooth peripheral device. If CyberPi is able to work as a Bluetooth central device the connection could be established in theory.

Hi Showman,
Effectively and without too much problem. However, the micro:bit is not a Makeblock product and Makeblock does not support it for the web version. It even disappeared from devices and remained only in the local version of mBlock.
In conclusion: An external developer will have to code a direct WIFI, a bit like the LAN block between the Halocode and the CyberPI.

do you have micro:bit? micro:bit extension in mBlock 5.4.0. doesn’t work with my micro:bit v2.

Hmmm, I have a version 1 and I believe the extension is very old. It would take a geek to code a new micro:bit v2 device. Unfortunately, Makeblock is focused on their products. The Halocode is pretty much equivalent to micro:bit v2 and when it’s $30 off, it’s a very fun device.
I tested the LAN block and it works between CiberPI and Halocode. It is therefore possible to communicate wirelessly with the mBot2.
