This is a webapp for sending DPAD events to micro:bit devices over bluetooth.
It works the best if you install it on your device, usually you should get a prompt to install it when accessing the site.
Only tested on Google Chrome! Will NOT work on Safari or firefox (as they don't support web bluetooth). I have not tested on IOS, but it should work with chrome there as well.
This is a continuation of HOVER:BIT BLE, but does not support fine-grained joystick input the way that project did. This is because it is intended to work with the default makecode MES_DPAD events.
You can create your own micro:bit code, and program it any way you are familiar with. This app sends MES_DPAD events, so you can add blocks listening for those.
Navigate to the progressive web app on a phone, and press connect. You should then select your micro:bit from the list of devices, and pair it. Now, the buttons will send events to the paired micro:bit.
For the HOVER:BIT BLE project, the versions matter, as they indicate compatability. Here you can use them to know wether you have the latest app, but it does not matter apart from that.
