  @robolink_leila The broken link was in the earlier reference in your message when I first joined the forum. I have been using that link for a short while and just recently tried it again when I got the error message. Thank you for the information and working new site!

  @GEMSLPC We recommend using Blockly because we are actively maintaining that site and can offer support. Blockly will run on most Windows, Mac, and Chromebook computers. Chrome is very easy to update and oftentimes it updates automatically. Unless the student's computer is an old laptop that may not have Bluetooth BLE built-in, you should not have any issues using Blockly in the class.

  @efkpall There are ideas in the Basecamp lessons and the teacher lesson plans for CoDrone challenges! Here are some suggested challenges. We don't have solutions codes because the student code will vary. Search and Rescue: Students create a payload carrier for a Lego person using strings and magnets. Scatter Lego people or similar objects on the floor with magnets. Use the remote control or autonomous code to rescue as many people as possible! Use the LEDs and sounds to send secret coded messages across the room. Build an obstacle course out of PVC pipes and have students build and design landing pads Set up DIY bowling pins and play drone bowling Make a synchronized light and drone show with another student Use loops and turns to fly in various shapes and letters

  @jamie Could you take a screenshot and share the image on this thread? It will help us diagnose the issue! Make sure you are using the latest version of Google Chrome if you can, and double-check that you completed each of the setup steps in this lesson.

  @akihiro Hi Akihiro, sorry about the slower response! We have a few people out of the office this week. Let me have Sheila prep a return label for you. That sounds like it was a defective set, so we'll just replace that for you.

  I am trying to program the rokit smart after downloading every file and library and yet the "/dev/cu.SLAB_USBtoUART" will not show, I am only receiving the wrong USB port option. Does anyone have any ideas?

  @shibbyrae The best way to stop Zumi is to run the following code in a cell: from zumi.zumi import Zumi zumi = Zumi() zumi.stop() The "stop" button on the Jupyter toolbar will not stop Zumi on its own. Zumi needs to explicitly receive the zumi.stop() command. Let me know if this helps!
