Inspiration
We were inspired by potential doomsday scenarios where mobile networks would be down and micro:bit's would save the day.
What it does
Users are provided with the ability to communicate with other micro:bit's using radio signals. A user may input a message in Morse code and it will be transmitted to all nearby micro:bit's as text. Each micro:bit will relay any received messages to increase the potential transmission range.
How we built it
Morse:bit was built in Python and flashed onto each micro:bit individually.
Challenges we ran into
Micro:bit's have a small amount of memory so the volume of code we could flash onto it (Even with minified files), and the number of variables we could save were small.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Potentially saving the world.
What we learned
We have all learned how to create and test software for micro:bit's.
What's next for Morse:bit
Encryption to improve security during transmission and implement code in a lower level language so we are able to improve memory management.
