Hi WinnieLu,

This program block is only available in offline mode. Please pull the mode switch to upload mode refer to the picture below:

It works fantastic. I have tried to use DHT11 extension, but I can not asign values to variables. Any idea?

Thanks again!

Hi RuIT

I have never used this sensor but it is a reader sensor so the variable you are talking about is probably the PIN ???

Check out these extentions:

I have used these extensions, but when I try to upload the block code, it always fails.

This is the code block. I try to upload the programm and I get this:

I do not know why it happens…

Hi,

Have you tried the other two exentions?

Just to validate that it’s not the extensions. It should be understood that Makeblock supports extensions of the community only but that it supports mBlock 5. Conclusion, if it is not the extentions then Makeblock will be there to help us.

I have tried all extensions I have found. That’s why I do not know what happens…

I test the DHT11 sensor with Arduino IDE and I could see the results in the serial, so the sensor is ok. Problem is with blocks.
