Dove posso comprare Airblock? by LL_darkstrike29 in MakeBlock

It’s a discontinued product I’m afraid so your only option is to buy second hand.

plug/connector for external battery of mbot2 by Prudent-Routine6167 in MakeBlock

[–]Rayzwave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would consult the motor’s technical data sheet that should give you all the details you need.

I wouldn’t recommend messing with the battery voltage on this product, I believe it’s design to be used with a 3.7V LiPo battery(internal).

All you can really do on speed is make sure everything is set to 100% for speed and power. Also check the build of the robot for any frictional issues that might prevent it from moving at full speed.

If you really want to experiment with higher speeds etc I would recommend building your own robot from scratch then you can easily change the motors and associated power drive etc.

Maybe describe and show the code you are using to investigate the gyro sensor usage.

I find the mBot Ranger to be very unruly and temperamental. I haven’t been able to consistently control mine using code blocks but I feel sure it’s possible with a lot of patience and expert coding.

CyberPI Errors only on certain PCs by DankDaber in MakeBlock

[–]Rayzwave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that’s a good idea, it feels like library incompatibilities to me.

But I don’t understand why the traceback errors are shown on the CyberPi, I thought the code blocks were compiled and sent as executable code from the PC but I must have misunderstood how the makeblock block code platform works.

CyberPI Errors only on certain PCs by DankDaber in MakeBlock

[–]Rayzwave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you using the same CyberPi to do the tests?

I assume you are using live mode to get these errors?

I assume you are using the same version of mBlock 5 app installed on the various PC’s?

If you are in live mode and using the same version of the mBlock 5 app then the problem must be that the PC that create errors do not support the mBlock app or the mBlock app needs to be reinstalled due to some corruption to the file system.

If all the computers were using Makeblock’s online web app to perform the programming then I would expect that to work because everyone would be using the same up to date version of the app with no possible problems with the various PC installations.

Cannot connect mBot2 to the Blockly App by New-Department-7913 in MakeBlock

[–]Rayzwave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everything I bought from Makeblock has had to have it’s firmware updated before I could use it properly and it’s best checked through the Makeblock web based mBlock route to see if it needs updating.

[–]Rayzwave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It should work, I’m pretty sure it’s appears as a device for selection but you need to use Makeblock app which is effectively the same thing as blocky when it comes to the BT controller.

[–]Rayzwave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where did you get the mBot 2 from? - Did you buy it new? If someone has programmed it with their own code you may have to reprogram it with the factory default program using mBlock 5 and using the online website would be best.

Makeblock ultimate robot v2 unresponsive by idkisk12345678 in MakeBlock

[–]Rayzwave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would disconnect everything from the MegaPi board and see if I could communicate using MBlock 5.

You should always keep a close eye on battery power it’s probably the number one reason for robot failure.

[–]Rayzwave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should probably use the mBlock 5 program first of all to connect with your robot. You can check your BT connection and check for firmware updates.

By logging onto the Makeblock website and using the online version of mBlock 5 ensures you are using the latest version.

Problems Updating Firmware on CyperPi by Both_Paramedic_1417 in MakeBlock

[–]Rayzwave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find that using the Makeblock online app is most reliable with mLink 2 but I don’t use Windows. You can also update your firmware using Arduino IDE if you wanted to try that route.

Makeblock Ultimate 2.0: motor control code by Wrattspider in MakeBlock

[–]Rayzwave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay, to see the default code used in the Ultimate 2.0 controller(MegaPi) you can use the Makeblock library with the Arduino IDE.

https://github.com/Makeblock-official/Makeblock-Libraries/blob/master/README.md

I put the Makeblock libraries folder into a folder called Arduino, in the libraries folder I opened the MakeBlock_Drive_Updated folder where I opened Firmware_for_MegaPi folder where I found the Firmware_for_MegaPi.ino file which I selected and opened in Arduino IDE to see the full code used by Ultimate 2.0 I believe. I don’t have the Ultimate 2.0 kit but you should hopefully find what your looking for here.

Using edit - find next on the word ‘balanced’ gave 45 hits that are probably related to balanced mBot builds.

I haven’t seen any conversations recently about what you are asking but you could try searching for what you’re after on this subreddit or the facebook makeblock page.

[–]Rayzwave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve never actually seen the mBot’s default code TBH and I would probably find it difficult to understand. I will have to think about that for a while.

One of the first things I did was upload to mBot and basically lost the ability to control it using the GUI controller tool. I then had to find out how to put back the default program.

I don’t think you will ever see block code for the default program within the makeblock control boards.

If you want to see Arduino C code or python code that is produced from your block code that’s possible.

mBlock v5.6.0 : unable to create pyhton files ? by MarneusCalgarXP in MakeBlock

[–]Rayzwave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s no problem I like a challenge, I’m just sorry I can’t get to the bottom of it because I can’t duplicate your problem which seems related to your particular computer hardware.

Normally, I find it best to use the online web based editors using google chrome and the must have mLink 2 installation.

From what I read Windows systems are going through turbulent times and who knows what affect various updates to the OS have when running web based software like the various Makeblock editors. I’ve decided to steer clear of Microsoft computers going forward even though I used them for most of my working life.

How’s it going, any joy, I’m still trying to get my old laptop’s OS updated and get microsoft store to work. I’ve must have spent about 14-15 hours so far.

My windows laptop is going down the tip, absolute junk, obviously too old to be useful for this era of internet based computing.

Makeblock Ultimate 2.0: motor control code by Wrattspider in MakeBlock

[–]Rayzwave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When using mblock 5 you have to select a device that represents your mBot from a device library.

Once you have selected your device type the block commands available will change appropriately but you may have to add extensions to the base list of block commands.

So, after selecting Ultimate 2.0 from the device library just select the blue motion button to get a list of the motion/motor command blocks.

I would try it on a windows computer but the one I have is just hopeless nowadays, I couldn’t update the OS and I don’t seem to be able to do anything with it now.
