. . . . which, so far, isn’t working. Obviously, there is more to this than meets the eye.
This is something that cheap barbecue skewers, a couple of push-buttons, a 5k resistor, and a Grove connector won’t fix as there ain’t no way to emulate MakeCode blocks in hardware! ('eh, @cyclicalobsessive? )
Unfortunately, that example is for the very simplest of code - she doesn’t show how to do functions calling functions, etc.
I am doing some additional research on the MakeCode dev pages themselves.
I have decided to call the second GoPiGo “Charlene” and the GiggleBot “Cindy”.
I haven’t done much with the GiggleBot, (I’m rebuilding part of a deck), but I have been experimenting with the MakeCode editor and creating custom blocks - which I have had zero success with so far.
So far, Charlie is hiding in his box, depressed and wondering where I went. Charlene hasn’t been assembled yet, (and doesn’t yet have a Raspberry Pi assigned, though it might end up being a “3”.) And Cindy is waiting next to the microwave, waiting for me to make her a piece of lasagna - or continue experimenting with her.
She gets really excited when we cook a lasagna and she wants a piece. Since she’s such a messy eater, (driving around in a pan full of lasagna is a messy proposition at best), we have to keep her away from it.
