Thanks for the help last night on the Arduino plugin. I know what I need to do. And now, another question. I have been working with the plugin for We Do robots. The plugin is installed and the palette is where it is supposed to be. But, the We Do does not respond to the program. When I look at th

Walter, Thanks for clarifying. I am not sure of the interest either. Mine may be an unusual case. I have We Dos and Mindstorms and Arduinos and Launchpads and so I am trying to test them all. I imagine I will reduce the number of tools shortly. Does that make sense? Gerald On Fri, Oct 5, 2012 a

Walter, I think this is an important enhancement as well. I am thinking of some kind of graphical distinction with the bricks, something like icons. The colors get too noisy. Would you also need some rules then about which bricks can and cannot connect together if we are crossing devices? Gerald
