The wiki for the Maqueen states that Python support is coming - any idea how long before this happens
Is there a list of which pins on the Micro:Bit control what devices on MaQueen please so that i can program it from standard Python IDE? - You Reply: Is there a list of which pins on the Micro:Bit control what devices on MaQueen please ?
- You Reply: it appears that a delay of AT LEAST 292ms is needed when changing motor direction
If the delay is any shorter then the motor(s) will not reliably change the direction of rotation
Once again Robert , many thanks for letting me know
Now i am aware of this motor safety feature i can try to ensure that i allow for this in any future projects
I must say that this is one of the best , if not the best , Micro:Bit robot learning platforms available. From the ease of construction through to the potential for expanding the range of attached sensors my thanks to the team that designed this!
Any idea when you will be publishing info on support for programming in python? - You Reply: Dear Robert
I have doen as you suggested see the following code....
https://makecode.microbit.org/_2tzH592bKLYu
this does indeed seem to cure the problem
I will investigate further over the next couple of days but it does appear to me that you must use the Motor-Stop-All block BEFORE issuing another movement command otherwise the motor(s) seem to just continue in the direction they were rotating prior to the next movement command.
I think this is a software issue rather than hardware so maybe if this turns out to be the case the guys at DFRobot can advise us further?
I am really grateful for your suggestion as i was beginning to think that maybe i had a faulty MaQueen
I will keep you up to date on my findings if you are interested
