Hi David,

Thank you very very much for this great work!!! I encourage everyone to test Scratch and report any possible problem or bug :)

Thanks also for sharing the way to install/test it, once you've updated the thymio wiki page, we will translate it ;)

Having Scratch working for Thymio is an incredible advantage, bravo to all the team who made it work! (I know it wasn't easy ;) )

Now, let's test it!

Best

Dear all,

The software link between the Scratch 2 programming language and Thymio-II robots is working and is ready for testing. It is fairly simple to use:

• download and install the latest release from https://github.com/davidjsherman/inirobot-scratch-thymioII
• connect the Thymio-II by a USB cable or by a Thymio-RF dongle
• run the ‘Scratch2-ThymioII’ helper program
• open any of the example Scratch programs in ‘examples’

The latest release is v0.7.3-alpha <https://github.com/davidjsherman/inirobot-scratch-thymioII/releases/tag/v0.7.3-alpha>. I will update the wiki page https://www.thymio.org/fr:scratchprogramming shortly.

This link is different from the excellent Thymio Blockly in that the Scratch program doesn’t run inside the Thymio. So a Scratch program can react to the physical world, as seen by the Thymio, and the Thymio can react to virtual objects in the Scratch world, seen by its sprite. This requires the robot to be in constant communication with the host computer, and really works best with a Wireless Thymio (or, that failing, a 2-meter USB cable).

Any and all comments, suggestions, and bug reports are welcome. Since this work isn’t entirely integrated into aseba-community/aseba on GitHub, for now bug reports about the software ought to go to my fork https://github.com/davidjsherman/aseba. The Scratch examples and the block documention live at https://github.com/davidjsherman/inirobot-scratch-thymioII, if you have any suggestions about these.

Thank you in advance for your help,
David
