> we just released support for downloading Arcade Games to micro:bit v2’s + game shield

That is amazing, thanks for the info! Got to check that out; just recently bought a micro:bit V2 for [better Bluetooth support](https://forum.makecode.com/t/anyone-ever-used-microbit-as-a-controller/9959/11) according to @bsiever, with the crossover intention of using the V2 as a controller for MakeCode Arcade or other inputs from the micro:bit to MCA games. -But this is just soooooooo 2019 compared to this, which I should have picked up on already from @AlexK’s post above!.. 😉

Maybe also worth it to check out the [mouse and keyboard extensions](https://forum.makecode.com/t/make-code-keyboard/3664/6), and maybe the [data logger](https://espensklasserom-com.translate.goog/2021/02/21/datalogging-pa-4-ulike-mater-med-microbit/?_x_tr_sl=no&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=wapp), for using hardware as input to the computer.

But these are all from hardware and to the computer/MCA. Apart from the planned mouse/keyboard support in MCA, are there any ways to get data from the computer/MCA to the micro:bit other hardware?

Here is a project sending serial data from a physical keyboard to a micro:bit:

But I have not yet found or figured out how to send data(maybe [serial](https://forum.makecode.com/t/microbit-extension-that-adds-to-the-simulator-and-debugger/19465), Bluetooth or USB) from the computer, or even better, from a MCA game, to a micro:bit.

Would this be possible or does anyone have examples of this already done?  
(Wish I had a faster brain and more time…)
