Turn your phone into a Bluetooth gamepad and drive micro:bit robots — Elecfreaks Nezha and Maqueen — with BlueMote and MakeCode.
In this tutorial I demo live remote control, then walk through the MakeCode blocks for a generic micro:bit BlueMote receiver and a Maqueen drive setup. Direct BLE. No cloud. Works on micro:bit V2.
