pxt-maqueen's Issues

Please change the Japanese locale directory name from 'jp' to 'ja'

Japanese is not displayed correctly in the block editor of MekeCode.
I want to make it available to Japanese elementary school children.

Motor doesn't work with Maqueen V3 and V4

Motor doesn't work with micro:Maqueen V3 and V4 on microbit V1.38.

})

Bug, On Bloq Received loop

guys i have noticed if you want to pull (on block received loop) into the programing it hangs all the browser (firefox and crhome latest versions). and you cant continue editing or adding any block.

as a workaround i had to switch to JavaScript interface and roll back

this is the funcitons that has problems:

maqueen.IR_callbackUser(function ({ myparam: message }) {})

i hope you can fix this its a big problem for newbies.

Dutch Translation

Hi there,
Instead of forking and keep it to myself, I'd like to apply for making the Dutch translations for this library. Please let me know if you're interested.

Extension ptx-maqueen 1.7.0 and Bluetooth can't be co-installed in micro:bit V2

Hi
I've been using the Maqueen extension ptx-maqueen with Bluetooth extension on MakeCode.
But the recent released ptx-maqueen v1.7.0 can't be co-installed with Bluetooth extension.

• micro:bit V2
• micro:Maqueen V4.1 (SKU:ROB0148-EN)
• Google Chrome on manOS 12 or Windows 10

will it be fixed?
Any work around?

ultrasonic with microbit v2

I have some issue with the block blockId=ultrasonic_sensor block="read ultrasonic sensor...

It works with v1 but with microbit version 2, i have lot of 0 return value.

Regards,

Please add 'shims.d.ts' to "files" in pxt.json

When importing the extension into the latest Makecode editor ( at https://makecode.microbit.org/#editor ), I am getting the error message:

Please add 'shims.d.ts' to "files" in pxt.json

Fails to load in French locale

1. Go to makecode.microbit.org
2. Change language to French
3. Import maqueen extension
4. Editor does not reload

On IR Received error :( 020

I am trying to read an IR signal but it always generates an error. I am using maqueen 1.5.6 in makecode.microbit.org.
I have kept the test simple with the JS below:
maqueen.IR_callbackUser(function (message) { basic.showLeds(
. . . . .
. . . . #
. . . # .
# . # . .
. # . . .
) }) basic.showLeds(
. # # # .
# . # . #
# . # # #
# . . . #
. # # # .
)

Should this be working or am I missing some initialisation?

in MakeCode. extension maqueen is not compatible with extension bluetooth

If project includes both bluetooth and maqeen extensions, program doesn't work properly on real micro:,bit.

Examples:

1. following program does not work

maqueen.motorRun(maqueen.Motors.All, maqueen.Dir.CW, 128)
basic.pause(5000)
maqueen.motorStop(maqueen.Motors.All)

2. following program shows in cycle 0, 2 and "sad" icon on display:

bluetooth.startUartService()
basic.showIcon(IconNames.Heart)

It should be fixed, or, at least, documented

1.2.1 fails to load into makecode

Hello,

Each time I try to load the maqueen (v 1.2.1) extension into makecode, I have:

SyntaxError: JSON.parse: expected double-quoted property name at line 25 column 1 of the JSON data
2 pxtapp.js:9159:26

On OSX, whatever the browser (safari, chrome or firefox)

Russian translation

Please create a new tag (v1.3.2) in your project (for Russian locale).
MakeCode doesn't see the latest changes without switching the tag (release).

Copright in the license seems incorrect

Expansion not working?

The maqueen expansion has been working perfectly with makecode until last friday. Now it does not seem to load and be able to open new projects with it. My students have the same problem. Anyone know of a fix?

Norwegian science teacher

Can more HW features be included in MakeCode?

We would like to access all of the hardware features such as speaker and RGB0-3 in the Maqueen extension. Or is there any documentation available on how to address them using micro:bit pins?

Ultrasonic Error

The Ultrasonic no longer works. It only returns a value of 0.
