Hi! I wonder if there’s going to be a “Radio” category for EV3 makecode, so that you can use one brick to control the other? I know it’s possible by bluetooth in lego’s own programming environment, but can it be developed for makecode as well?

Like for the micro:bit where you “Set radio group” to pair 2 micro:bits.

This is not supported at the moment.

Will it ever be, @peli?

There is some great potential with all the equipment lying around in schools, to connect/make things interoperate together, like controlling EV3 or Arcade from the micro:bit etc… 😉

In the EV3 firmware, this is called a mailbox. I’ll be working on it soon and hopefully it will work in the BrickCode fork.
