I am new to ScratchX and I have a couple of basic questions.
In general for the extensions that communicate with an external processor, how is that accomplished or where can I find the documentation?
Specifically for the Arduino, how does Scratch identify the com port (on windows) to use and what is the protocol is used ?
Every time I load a project that I saved when connected to the Arduino extension, ScratchX disconnects from the Arduino? If I restart ScratchX, I get reconnected but I still cannot load a project without disconnecting again.
Is there a way to reconnect with the Arduino using a block once it has been disconnected?

Thanks

This is a forum where extension developers can ask and answer questions about the development of Scratch Extensions.

Scratch Extensions make it possible to connect Scratch projects with external hardware (such as LEGO WeDo or PicoBoard) or sources of information on the web. They add a collection of command and reporter blocks that can be used to interact with a particular device or data source. When an extension is enabled, its blocks appear in the “More Blocks” palette. For more information, see the Scratch Wiki.

Scratch On!

Just a short question: Since Flash is now discontinued, how difficult would it be to transition to Scratch 3 extensions…?

I have left Scratch! Goodbye everyone, I'll remember you all in therapy.
If you want to ever get in contact with me again, please visit my Github instead.
Also, if you need to, you can contact me via Meower. You'll know where to look.

YEEEAAH!! Great news! A brand new fun coding project for my life! I'm going to start learning extensions TODAY!
Edit: According to the documentation, Scratch Extensions are easier than Firefox Extensions.. Let's see about that! I'm going to try to put my knowledge to USE!

What is your knowledge of EVIL KUMPKATS THAT WILL EAT YOUR MIND???

How about a paint extension, for example, you can draw with the mouse by holding down and moving it.
