Example Code for MakeCode-Sending Email (Based on IFTTT)

This project demonstrates how to connect the WiFi IoT module to the IFTTT platform. When Button A on the micro:bit is pressed, the current temperature and light intensity values are sent to IFTTT, which then triggers an email notification. This allows real-time sharing of environmental data with others.

Hardware Preparation

  • micro:bit board x 1
  • IO Extender for micro:bit x1
  • WiFi IoT module x1
