Getting started with Scratch for MakeBlock

#1

I’ve followed the Wiki, installed the OSX helper, installed the Arduino helper sketch on the Me-Baseboard.
I got a couple of error messages: Error 0 from the helper app.
I then opened scratch, installed the custom blocks, tried the example file.
So far I haven’t got the robot to move or interact in any way - any tips?
I can see instruction from scratch appear in the helper app - “device=Ultrasonic&method=add&port=5” (I tried a few different ports) but nothing seems to be causing the robot to move or causing robot to communicate with Scratch.

Hi tom_whitwell,

I’m sorry for that – actually, ‘error 0’ means there is no error. it’s easily get misunderstand. We will fix that ASAP.

For the problem, have you upload the ScratchApp to Baseboard? (the step 3 on wiki)

Hi Johnny,

Do you know why I can’t find ScratchApp option under makeblock? (see also posting here: http://forum.makeblock.cc/t/why-i-cound-not-find-scratchapp-in-the-file-example-makeblock-of-arduino-ide/567)

Thanks.
