Inventor Electronic Kit: Scratch X plugin not connecting to device in Chrome/mac

#1

I have made a couple of other Scratch Online extensions, and chose to communicate with my raspi/Arduino combo using MQTT so as to avoid the problem of connecting to a device locally. the code actually becomes quite tidy

I thought I could combine the other scratch blocks I have with those of Makeblock to blend several types of electronic gadgets (a face tracker, a moving skull) in one student friendly project.

However, there is no way I can get the device plugin to work, i have now followed the guidelines for plugins at scratch.mit.edu and your youtube video, but there is always a red circle telling me that the makeblock scratch blocks can not connect. Have anyone else experienced this? Any solutions?

It sounds like you’re crossing different .sb2 files. The Makeblock .sb2 files are not compatible with Scratch 2.0 .sb2 files and most ScratchX .sb2 files. People here at Makeblock don’t really have anything to do with people at Scratch (I think I’m one of the only people who are active in the community there)
Try removing certain plugins and make sure that you’re putting your code in the right program. If there are any red blocks, you’re missing something.

This might not be exactly what you’re asking, but I hope it’s of some assistance.

Thanks for the answer! There is no mention of an SB2 file on your github page for the scratch online extension. Could you tell where it is?

No problem!
I don’t have access to the Makeblock-Offical GitHub account, I’m not staff, heh. :yum: You could probably directly contact a staff member, though.

(There’s others too!)

Commenting on the GitHub page could be of use too, they seem to be pretty active on there.
