Difference between "upgrade firmware" and "send to arduino"


#1

Hi,

While struggling to send my scratch programs to my mBot, i try those 2 methods.

At first I used the “upgrade firmware method”, and it sort of bricked the mbot each time : the default firmware was gone and my firmware clearly did nothing. Is there a way to make this method work ? if so, what should th first block ? still “mbot program” ?

Then I used “send to arduino” method, that compiles and upload. It was my first working program, but there seems to problems with the code generated since things that work directly in mblock cease to work once compiled…

Thanks

The most needed thing remains a full documentation…

you need to re-load the Default program after upgrading the firmware.
