Hi,

I am tickled by the two motors extension in scratch 2.0 (tho I can't seem to get motor blocks in the offline version?)

I do not seem to be able to have two motors AND working sensors; if I piggyback a sensor on the motor, the motor does not work.'

I'd be delighted to play with the javascript code, but I can't seem to find the actual .js file anywhere- mayb e I am being stupid.

Might we be able to extend this to work wiht multiple WeDo hubs?

thanks

It's impossible to piggy back sensors onto motors on the WeDo hub - the hub just doesn't support that setup electronically. So playing with the .js isn't going to help you with that one. So with 1 hub you are limited to just 2 of anything, and the official Scratch system is limited to just 1 hub.

There is no official WeDo support in the offline version yet.
But you could use http://www.picaxe.com/s2bot for offline work.

Thank you! Would think about how to expand the scratch code to more than 1 hub, but I am a noob at coding things. If I can get pointed in the right direction to start playing, I'd be happy to play.

Would love to have the ability to connect two hubs!!!

I'm also interested in using multiple WeDo hubs. If you want to build a mobile robot you need two channels for driving and steering itself, then no way to connect any sensor, or a motor for additional activites. Multiple hubs could make our rprojects much more advanced!

Straight up! Having only one hub cripples this software for any robotic applications. The result: there is NO bridge in between WeDo and Mindstorms and that is a shame. What would CalTech do?

Two hubs at once would be great, but it is possible to make a robot that steers and avoids obstacles with just one motor and one sensor. Here's how I did it:
