Added loads more blocks now including the Keepalive.

Thanks, glad it is working now.

Thanks and sorry.The GitHub was missing the files

Something in windows 11 is not happy with it Ignore the blockly workspace lines as that an internal warning for the upgrade of blockly source. Are you running from the command line or clicking on main.py? I'm going to need time to look into this as it is specific to windows 11 and I don't have a machine to test. Can you open a bug report on GitHub with the info so I dont forget please?

That would be my fault for not checking that I uploaded them, sorry. Just uploaded them now. As we discussed earlier, we are both not very fluent with Github. I have a folder on my computer for local testing and when I get a stable version then I copy to GitHub.

No, there should NOT be a connect and it causes connection issues. The only time a connection is activated is when the code is running. No, not web based as WEBUSB causes way to many problems. It should need Python 3.14, QT6, Pyserial, Node.js Do you get any messages in the command line console that should be running OS of the app?

@Toastie At the moment its just to "remote control" all devices like in a GBC but would like to add the ability to download programs. I need to sort out some of the sensor port blocks and then move on to Cybermaster and Wedo1.0. @Bliss Did you just download the main.py file or did you download all the files? Download the Archive.zip folder and extract into a folder called hello-uli. Beyond that I don't have win11 to test. There is an installer file but its only for linux that's sorts out those issues including the creation of VM. @RenLUG - Central Florida Thank you

I now have the Interface B and the RCX working from the IDE.

Oh cool, that's something I would like to incorporate into the RPI version. I have one sat on my RPI 4 but not got around to using it yet.

Yeh I asked him to upload to GitHub so I could include and credit him

AI still gets it wrong even with reference materials

I’ve uploaded the source to the latest version of my ULI using Bliss’ RCX on GitHub. you wouldn’t be interested in trying to add your code to it would you?

Image not working?

A little bit of progress on my IDE. Thanks to @Bliss for his work with his RCX lib

We don't have a W.H.Smiths anymore and never seen it in lidl I do have the double poly

I have to go to extreme lengths to find the technic mag as non of the shops in my town sell it. What's the release date on these?

Thats the other reason that I didn't put much thought into the Interface B's checksum, it just doesn't really serve any purpose once you understand the byte stream. Writes don't need a checksum so its (in my uneducated eyes) not important.

One of the top requests I had for my project was a install that configured everything with no hunting and cross platform, the other was that it had to be beginner friendly hence why the m running blockly on python so that users can start with blocks and see how the code links. I had to make an install script for Linux based systems after the security change to them requiring the use of VM’s As to checksums, that’s not implemented as I don’t understand them at present

Sometimes the OS overrides the bit rate and tries to run at 9600 or the USB adapters only run at 9600. I've also notice that USB3* ports also don't like running slower.

https://www.hackster.io/AJB2K3/lego-dacta-interface-b-part-3-starting-again-42100a My Hackster page has has a few guides on the interface B. I work in Python using py serial which bypasses all the web serial problems and is completely OS independent. I also have a Work in progress version of Blockly I am building just for lego devices.

Very WIP and don't know yet, still early.

Ok, I forgot to import time. Once I imported time. the byte codes started working.

Glad it wasn't just me. Thanks. I have mentioned you and your project in my book.

@Bliss I'm not sure if its just me or your code but when I run from legorcx import RCX r=RCX("COM1") r.mot(r.A).pow(6) r.mot(r.A).on() print(r.LastCmdSerStr) I get the output byte string b'\x55\xff\x00\x10\xef\x10\xef' but If I try this string in a serial write import serial #ser.write(b'\x55\xff\x00\x10\xef\x10\xef') Nothing happens.
