I have been going around in circles trying to find a wifi module that I can connect to Adafruit IO with— all modules seem locked into their proprietary IoT platform.  
So I have created a wifi module using a pico-w-2 that receives data from the microbit over UART and connects to Adafruit IO.

Im after people to test it and make suggestions, I’m new to making makecode extensions and I want to improve it.

You can create a new makecode project and add my extension, more info in the repo too :

Woah, that’s crazy- what kind of data would the microbit be able to receive over Wifi?

Actually the other way around. Its to send data to another device.
