Micro:bit IoT Weather Station

Last week, I put the "technical" finishes on a micro:bit IoT weather station. The station uses two micro:bits, one to take the weather measurements and transmit the data using the micro:bit's radio. The second micro:bit receives the radio data and uploads the data to the ThingSpeak website. Thanks for Voltaic for the donation of the solar cell and battery for this project. The project was created and donated to a local public school.

The software is structured, so that about every ten minutes, the IoT micro:bit sends a request to the weather micro:bit to send it the weather data. The IoT micro:bit then uploads the data to ThingSpeak and waits another 10 minutes. There is one workaround which I will explain later.
