@Turgut thanks for the info! Where do we find the library(s) needed to support the ESP8266 WiFi module? I do see L…

This is good info to know for newbies!
And you can not use an add-on board attached to the jumpers along with the mini boards still attached to the bus, for the sensors and potentiometer, button, or wireless board
Not sure ex…

In looking at the e-book, I was also surprised there wasn't a section in the beginning that describes the PB board physical layout, how to separate modules from main PB board (not sure what you call the combination of all the modules that lay in …

Thanks @Turgut ! The WiFi module appraoch sounds encouraging. Years ago (actually 40+ years :) ), I used a small I…

Ahhh, so "pilot" = "beta" - thanks. Just never heard of that verbiage...
-
Oh, maybe the ".app" in the file name implies Mac - I'll try it...
Update: just downloaded MicroBlocks.app.zip and extracted the Mac app file - now my version shows as 1.1.85 and Rescale code block lists under Operators->…

@PeterMathijssen - also, what does "Pilot" version mean? Beta? Or?

@PeterMathijssen My standalone MicroBlocks on my iMac shows version as 1.1.61 (Firmware v155). I got everything off the site the o…

Going back a few posts: While File->New does indeed clear the workspace of all code blocks, it also clears the loaded Libraries. Is there a way to avoid the Libraries being cleared? Or, can one set default Libraries to load …

That Rescale block does sound like it would be helpful. Unfortunately, Rescale does not show under the Operators->Advanced section. And yes, I do have the Settings->Show Advanced Blocks turned on. I am using the…

True, but I wanted to test creating variables. Could come in handy to have the temp saved as a variable. Anyways, good to know :)

In 2.5.1 (Graphic Monitor), it correctly states "In this project, we will prepare a project in which we increase or decrease the brightness of the red LED with a potentiometer."
BUT in 2.5.4 it incorrectly states "As yo…

For newbies that want to see the temp in degrees F, my streamlined code (thanks Peter) looks like below. Note - you do have to create the variable TempF in MicroBlocks by going to Variables->[Add a variable] ...
…You can get that here https://microblocks.fun/downloads/pilot/
Just looked at the above link: the standalone subfolder lists som…
Is there a more efficient way to do my degrees C to F conversion? Formula is TempF = (TempC * 1.8) + 32. I found I could only use whole numbers, so handled the 1.8 multiplier in two steps. Could the conversion all be done in one line/…
Before seeing these, replies I had thought I would try adding a delay at start of my code. Adding a short 1 sec delay did the trick :)
Thanks to both of you! I did discover the File->New option on menu bar shortly after posting :)
Turgut - as far as MicroBlocks being an event driven environment: I did a lot of assembly language CPU/micro-controller cod…
Sample 2.1 - the flashing LED works fine when board is plugged into external USB power supply. So there's some issue with the OLED not working in a standalone mode...
What issues did you have with the provided combined tray? I haven't popped any modules out yet. Are they difficult to get out/in?
Howdy, Stranger!
