Motor spins in only one direction. The block to change the direction (this way/that wa/reverse) simply ignored. Any ideas how I can reverse the motor?

Works ok for me - see inside this test project:

http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/26932116/

My browser / operating system: Windows 7, Chrome 37.0.2062.120, Flash 15.0 (release 0)

I cheked this and similar codes. No matter what the program is, motor spins in one direction only. I used some statements for debugging and found “move that way” is simply ignored. I am using off line scratch 2.0 version.

You are correct, offline in v424 it is broken, online it works.

Thanks. I knew something was wrong as I tried simple statements with 3 different motors.
Now the online version problem: My lego wedo which works with offline version (albeit only one direction) does not work all online. The message is that it is not connected even though it is connected. I downloaded extension plug in (file name: ScratchDevicePlugin.msi) and installed. It seems to have installed with no messages. But the online editor still says the device is not connected. Any input?

Thanks

What browser are you using - try Chrome / Firefox.
Sometimes the plugin does get confused and locks up, so try a computer restart to overcome that.

However it connects to the WeDo ok for me with both offline and online versions. Obviously you need to close one before opening the other as only one can connect to the WeDo at any one time.

It happens the same to me; motor spins just in one direction…but it works with scratch 1.4

Have just set up the Lego WeDo using Scratch 2.0 offline. The motor spins in one direction only. I hope this gets fixed soon as I would love to use the offline version for Lego WeDo.

I posted exactly this very same problem in the bugs and glitches forum.

I realized that the functions set motor direction to that way and set motor direction to reverse are not working. These two functions are simply not executed and it seems to me that it is a program bug.

The other functions related to control Wedo Motors are working as a motor can be turned on and off. Apparently the function set motor direction to this way is also working.

I am working with the current version v430 of scratch 2.0 offline editor for windows. With the online version these functions work properly.

This was raised as a bug on Sep 22 2014, unfortunately it is still not fixed.

The bug actually could be because the usb is not fully pluged in.
