Hello,
I purchased an ActivityBot for my son. We assembled and wired it, and I am able to use SimpleIDE to build, load and run the "hello world" example. So far so good. The next thing I am trying to do is use BlocklyProp, at least until my son is old enough to understand the intricacies of the C language (at the very least he should know how to programme a Duff's device...). Alas, no Windows or Mac computers in our house.
A Google search pointed me to a Python-based client here:
https://github.com/parallaxinc/BlocklyPropClient
A few questions:
1. Is this an officially-supported client? Doesn't seem to be.
2. Is the project still active?
3. I got the client to work with the server hosted on blocklyprop.creatingfuture.eu (needed a couple of tweaks), which is not the one that the official site points to. That one does not work with the client at all.
Before I continue my debugging efforts or, worse, write my own client, is there a better way to get BlocklyProp on Linux?
Thanks,
--Elad
