radio/BLE connection from computer to micro:bit

I would like to play with the radio (or BLE) module of my microbit, but I have only one physical microbit. Is it possible to connect the emulated microbit from https://makecode.microbit.org/ to a real physical microbit using the bluetooth interface of my notebook and send messages between them wirelessly?

I don’t believe so. But if you wanted to receive or send data to and from your Micro:Bit, you could use serial. And create a serial monitor in Python (choose the right port, e.g., COM1, COM4; it should be labeled as a USB drive or something like that). You can send messages to the Micro:Bit and receive them back to act as a sort of receiver for different strings and encode it so a certain function will execute once the string is received.

Also, if you’re getting corrupted strings, lower the baud rate.
