Connect your microbit to the internet and send data easily using Seluxit Wappsto bit

- The microbit is a powerful little device with lots of built in hardware. The sensors can measure a bunch of different things, but what if you want to record those readings? In this tutorial I’ll show you how you can use an extension board called a wappsto bit to log data from your microbit to the internet! You can see your data through a web browser, or through an app, from anywhere in the world. That means you can keep track of things like light level or temperature in a room wherever you are. Pretty cool, right?
Full disclosure: Seluxit sent me the Wappsto bit for free to play with. They didn’t ask me to make a video, or pay me to say nice things about their product, but I thought you folks might be interested in how it works. So all opinions in this video are totally my own - the wappsto bit was genuinely pretty straight-forward to use and I can see lots of fun project potential.

Hey, glad to see you're back in action for 2021! Your videos are great!
Awh, thanks :)
Oh this is great! I already bought my microbit, now I can start programming!
greetings from Lima, Peru!
Fantastic! Hope you have a good time :)
This was really fascinating and fun to watch! I think your delivery and editing have come a huge way, your presentation is really slick now :D
Great to see you are back! Question: Can you use the Wappsto & microbit as the hub, and have other microbits communicating with the hub wirelessly, increasing the number of locations?
I can't see why not! In fact, that's a really great idea. As long as the other microbits are within radio range that seems like a great way to collect EVEN MORE DATA! Yay!
What fun! It's great to see Micro:bit on the internet. I think your cat was telling you that it would like a "smart cat house" full of home automation, please and thank you. :)
That is really nice extension board Hanna.
You are inside and outside beautiful!!!
Well done.
please upload frequently because we miss you so much!!!
Thank you 💘
Hi there
I've been watching your program for about 10 days and I think you are very happy and funny
That's a cool extension board.
It's a powerful bit of kit! My microbit thinks it's really clever now
thx a lot you are awesome really
good presentation
Does it support logging data to a local server (e.g. Raspberry Pi) instead, for those who don't trust the cloud to be secure or those who want a guarantee that the device can still be used if the cloud service goes down?
It looks like the Wappsto:bit is designed pretty specifically to log data to the Wappsto platform - but if you're looking to log data elsewhere, still over WiFi, then I'd suggest a board like the ESP8266. I know there are some clever people who've already written MakeCode extensions for the ESP8266 to make the process a bit easier too. Hope that helps!
Can the I program the microbit to send push notifications when something happens?
You could probably connect your micro:bit to the laptop over Bluetooth to scratch and have scratch take whatever data you want and put it in a cloud variable to be accessed by anyone. It’s just an idea. I’m not sure if it would work. It would probably be good for temperature monitoring.
Hi 👋, I am new to your work shop, I enjoy it, are you still doing projects, ???
PHIL FROM THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOULIN FRANCE.
Link is very old. Microbits are out of stock for quite a while now.
wish i was as cute/talented/lucky as you!
Come back please 🙏
Come back!
