Connect your microbit to the internet and send data easily using Seluxit Wappsto bit

- The microbit is a powerful little device with lots of built in hardware. The sensors can measure a bunch of different things, but what if you want to record those readings? In this tutorial I’ll show you how you can use an extension board called a wappsto bit to log data from your microbit to the internet! You can see your data through a web browser, or through an app, from anywhere in the world. That means you can keep track of things like light level or temperature in a room wherever you are. Pretty cool, right?
Full disclosure: Seluxit sent me the Wappsto bit for free to play with. They didn’t ask me to make a video, or pay me to say nice things about their product, but I thought you folks might be interested in how it works. So all opinions in this video are totally my own - the wappsto bit was genuinely pretty straight-forward to use and I can see lots of fun project potential.

Oh this is great! I already bought my microbit, now I can start programming!
greetings from Lima, Peru!
Fantastic! Hope you have a good time :)
This was really fascinating and fun to watch! I think your delivery and editing have come a huge way, your presentation is really slick now :D
Hey, glad to see you're back in action for 2021! Your videos are great!
Awh, thanks :)
What fun! It's great to see Micro:bit on the internet. I think your cat was telling you that it would like a "smart cat house" full of home automation, please and thank you. :)
That is really nice extension board Hanna.
You are inside and outside beautiful!!!
Well done.
please upload frequently because we miss you so much!!!
Thank you 💘
Hi there
I've been watching your program for about 10 days and I think you are very happy and funny
That's a cool extension board.
It's a powerful bit of kit! My microbit thinks it's really clever now
thx a lot you are awesome really
good presentation
Great to see you are back! Question: Can you use the Wappsto & microbit as the hub, and have other microbits communicating with the hub wirelessly, increasing the number of locations?
I can't see why not! In fact, that's a really great idea. As long as the other microbits are within radio range that seems like a great way to collect EVEN MORE DATA! Yay!
Can the I program the microbit to send push notifications when something happens?
You could probably connect your micro:bit to the laptop over Bluetooth to scratch and have scratch take whatever data you want and put it in a cloud variable to be accessed by anyone. It’s just an idea. I’m not sure if it would work. It would probably be good for temperature monitoring.
Does it support logging data to a local server (e.g. Raspberry Pi) instead, for those who don't trust the cloud to be secure or those who want a guarantee that the device can still be used if the cloud service goes down?
It looks like the Wappsto:bit is designed pretty specifically to log data to the Wappsto platform - but if you're looking to log data elsewhere, still over WiFi, then I'd suggest a board like the ESP8266. I know there are some clever people who've already written MakeCode extensions for the ESP8266 to make the process a bit easier too. Hope that helps!
Link is very old. Microbits are out of stock for quite a while now.
Hi 👋, I am new to your work shop, I enjoy it, are you still doing projects, ???
PHIL FROM THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOULIN FRANCE.
