Hello,
My son received a mBot robot kit and after it was built the remote control functioning worked fine but after he connected it to the computer with the USB cable to update it, the remote control no longer worked.
We have the bluetooth version and when we attempt to connect to ipad (version 2) or iphone (4S) it says that it is connected but nothing happens when we try to run the the mblocky and makeblock apps on the ipad or the app on the iphone.
Any suggestions?
Thank you.
Hi,
Maybe the code inside the robot was erased by the update. You should try to reset the default program.
First of all, make sure you have downloaded the latest version of mBlock.
Secondly, turn on your mBot with connected batteries and connect mBot to your computer with USB cable.
Thirdly, open the software mBlock, then choose the correct serial port in the menu “connect” and choose the boards as mBot in the menu “Boards”.
Fourthly, Click the “Reset Default Program” in the menu “Connect” and wait until it succeed 100%.
Let us know if this solves the problem.
Best regards,
Hi Simon,
Thank you so much!
It seems to be working now with the remote control and the 3 example programs on MBlocky on the ipad.
I will get my son to try something fancier when he gets home from school.
