Maqueen coding for micro:bit.

userHead Steve.Ayton 2023-03-11 22:40:08 834 Views2 Replies

The BBC Microbit V2.21 I bought from DF Robots won't accept Makecode programmes.

I added the Maqueen extensions, then, when attempting to download the code created using the editor at  https://makecode.microbit.org/#editor I get the message “hex file is not available, please connect to internet and try again”.

DF Robot suggested looking at Github at the URL

https://github.com/DFRobot/pxt-DFRobot_MaqueenPlus_V20

This doesn't seem to be connected with the issue.

When I compile and download any projects at makecode.microbit.org/#editor WITHOUT references to the Maqueen extensions, everything works OK, so I guess the extensions are the problem. DF Robot say that the code and hardware is compatible with the Windows 11 desktop PC I'm trying to use to develop code.

Can anyone help me to sort this out?

Also, please notice that the right URL link is

 https://github.com/DFRobot/pxt-DFRobot_MaqueenPlus_V20

The website you provide has two extra punctuation marks, it could be the reason why you could not open it.

Could you please share your code?

I have tried to download code from Makecode to micro:bit, with Maqueen plus extension. Everything works fine.

Could you please check again? It could be like the Makecode server or our library has some trouble. but now it works fine.

Hope it can help.
