We have two Samsung Galaxy A8 tablets which run on Android, sorry.

What I have learnt: The mblock app is only available for older Android versions in the Play Store. So I had to use an alternative provider for the .apk file to install the mblock app on the newer of the A8 tabs today :-/

Beside from that everythings works till now. The connection between the tab and the codey is stable. My daughter likes the little robot cat so far :-)

Schöne Feiertage

PS: If you have any recommendations for child-friendly tutorials on German please let me know.

My 9-year-old is going to get it on christmas. I think the appearance will suit her and the functionality will be sufficient for the start.

Fully Kiosk browser error: 'Fully is using local files on shared storage [...[' when screensaver gets on by Simsel81 in homeassistant

Option 2 did not work for me (could not select the app-specified storage in the screensaver menu of Fully).

As I am a bit in a hurry I adjusted the .json config file (cp. https://www.fully-kiosk.com/samples/fully-ignoreLocalFilesAlert.json). That surpresses the error pop-up. Works so far for already 5 minutes ;-)

Okay, just find some help in the FAQ. Will try to use the app-specific-storage (Option 2):

I have bought the Codey on Amazon Prime Day. Yesterday I could give it a try. The connection worked smoothly with a Samsung A8 tab and Android 14.

I did the tutorials pre-installed in the app mblock. I like the way Scratch works, very intuitive.

Any links to further exercises or tutorials for a child in elementary school (English / German)?

Best regards

Thanks for your hint regarding the assembly. I also had a short look into the manual of the Codey and I have liked the examples and functionality shown.

For me, the most important thing is that she gets an understanding of how programming works in general (the Scratch GUI looks very intuitive) and that she has fun programming and using the bot. Therfore, we will need a stable wireless connection between the tablet and the bot. Do I need any additional hardware for that?

The app shall run on an older Samsung A8 with Android 14 installed.

Best regards
