MIT App Inventor Help
1

Hello, middle school teacher. The students must create a smartphone application to control the Mbot2.....the 2.0.4.aix extension does not work.
Does anyone have an extension that works???

Thanks

Where did you get the Mbot2 extension from ?

3

I found it on the forum:MIT App Inventor cannot connect to mBot. Android App Force Quit when search for devices - mBot - Makeblock Forum

My problem is precisely that I can't find an extension of MBOT2 but only MBOT1...

Looks like the latest version there.

Have you asked the MakeBlock/mBot people ?

It is possible they are now active on discord....

5

no i will try...

thanks

found nothing, I'm depressed :sob:

I found this in a 2020 post MIT App Inventor cannot connect to mBot. Android App Force Quit when search for devices - mBot - Makeblock Forum . I do not use Mbot so I have no idea whether it will help you or not. This seems to be a link you already tried.

Why? Do something else as the project when you reach a dead end.

This is one of my students' Robot contest.

  1. Speed ​​test with line follower
  2. Customization of Mbot2
  3. Creation of a smartphone application to control the mbot2 and play a Robot football match against a robot.

Suggest your student might need to use the Makeblock free software rather than App Inventor/ It might be his/her only alternative Here is a link https://www.makeblock.com/pages/software.

Otherwise you might ask about an App Inventor extension on the Makeblock discussion forum. mbot2 robot football - Google Search

Last year the Appinventor applications created by my students had no problem connecting to the Mbot.

In my new establishment, I have two Mbot1 to which I have just put the blutooth chips.

Unable to connect to mbot.
I have this message:
"connot connect to blutooth connect"

An idea??

Is the Bluetooth mbot chip paired with your Android?

See Makeblock Bluetooth Dongle Operation Guide | Makeblock Education . It discuses pairing. or use MakeBlocks instead of App Inventor. :cry:

What Android version are you using. This discussion suggests the .the 2.0.4.aix extension on the mbot site does not work with Android 11+ .

This discussion might be useful Sending data to mBot via Bluetooth - mBot - Makeblock Forum See where one user used this MIT App Inventor Code on the Android:
BTArduinoClient2Devices_ahu.zip (3.1 KB) and he says You will need to pair the mBot with the Android device using the Bluetooth settings 1st, then connect within the app.

I forgot to specify that the connection is made from my android phone.
The connection was working fine last year....

Please note it is Mbot + Bluthoot card

Last year I managed to connect Mbot1 with Appinventor applications.

But there, impossible....
I thought it was from the card but the provider told me no.

It tells me about connection problem because of android 12...
I took an old tablet with an old android and it does not work better....

You can see, the message I have on my phone...

Yes
And in case it still does not work, drag a bluetooth client component into the working area without using it to get the required permissions in the manifest
