[Microbit-Python] Sending an integer by radio

[Stephen Simmons]

David, 

If you are interested in a longer example of sending microbit motion data by radio, I did a talk on it at Pycon UK in September. The presentation and code are here in my github repo:

Hi Mark
Nicholas Tollervey has just told me why my script does not work and
provided me with the following
What's the solution..? It's easy, you simply need to keep polling until
a message is received:

import radio
radio.on()

msg = None
while not msg:
msg = radio.receive()

my_number = int(msg)

Have a happy Christmas
David
