"stop tone" block: does it work for you?

#1

I’ve noticed that the “stop tone” block doesn’t seem to work. If I play a tone (e.g., “play tone on note C4 beat whole”, it seems to play through to the end, regardless of whether a “stop tone” command is encountered.

I’ve tried to play C whenever the keyboard “C” is pressed, and trigger a “stop tone” when the keyboard “C” is released.

Has anyone tried something similar, and if so what behaviour did you encounter?
Thanks,
SK

I’ve been using the Stop Tone block with no issues.

How are you connecting to the mBot? Via the USB cable, Bluetooth, or WiFi?

Can you post a screenshot of the code you are using?

Hi Chuck,
Thanks for replying.

I’m connecting to the mbot by USB at the moment, running a simple test code as follows:

I find that when I press the g key, the G3 note plays through the full duration of a double note, rather than stopping when I release the g key.

Add a “When clicked” block followed by a forever loop. The other hat blocks may not act properly without it. :slightly_smiling:

Thanks, chuckmcnight. I’ll give that a try tonight.
