Hide and Seek Game Using The MicroBit's Signal Strength

The document describes how a hide and seek game can be played using micro:bit devices and measuring radio signal strength. The hidden micro:bit continuously broadcasts its signal strength, while the search micro:bit displays the strength it detects. As the search micro:bit gets closer to the hidden one, the displayed strength will increase, helping locate where the hidden micro:bit is concealed. Both devices must be set to the same channel number to communicate. Measuring changes in detected signal strength over distance allows players to find the hidden micro:bit.
