Hello, wanted to share with you an alternative to the Arduino IDE.

Try using Visual Studio with the PlatformIO extension loaded.

I had a few problems but got things working.

I wrote some instructions and would be happy to give to to you, just send me an email message:

Check out this.

It will help you get things going.

The great people at PlatformIO are helping me get the their plug-in to Visual Studio code working.

Check it out:

They are very helpful.

Perhaps you could try to and maybe we will get it working faster.

Thanks

I found this:

I'm trying to get it to work. Will let you know how things work out.

Respectfully,
Joe

Hello, does anyone if there is an alternative to the Arduino IDE that can program the Codrone? I found PlatformIO that is an add-on to Visual Studio Code and was able to program my Arduino board.

Thank you

Hello, I'm still a newbie at the CoDrone programming so this may be a simple question for others. What command can I use so the CoDrone will land softly?

Thanks,

Hello, I am getting an error when I try to update the Arduino RokitSmart library.

Here are some screen shots:

Can you please help me.

Thank you

Hello, I've been charging the (Byrobot) battery for the CoDrone QuadCopter for over 40 minutes and the two red LEDS are still on. The video on the web says they will turn off when charged. I'm worried. Is this normal to take over 40-minutes?

Thanks,
Dorothy

Hello, I am a newbie with the CoDrone, just received it last week and have many questions. I would like to know if there are schematics for the ROBOLINK (BLE) board and the Smart Inventor V2+ board? Is the micro controller on the the Smart board the same as the micro controller found on the Arduino board? I'm assuming the micro controller is on the Smart board and not the RoboLink board. Next, if the micro controller is on the Smart board is it being programmed if I connect the USB cable to the BLE board? I notice that on the BLE board is a marking near the white connector 5V, RX, TX, GND so there must be some link to the Smart board, how does this work? What is the communication protocol? Is that a UART? I would like to learn what the chips do on the BLE board.

Curious wannabe engineer,

Dorothy
