Issue with Microbit Connection
Hello! I am here because my Bluetooth won't connect with my Microbit. I was looking for a way to make a one pixel camera out of my Microbit but needed a method to get data off of it so I can process it separately (I also needed something to change my screen) and so was directed here: https://scratch.mit.edu/microbit
I then downloaded the file package and dropped it into my Microbit. From here I noticed that the screen was flashing a name and that when I looked in Bluetooth it was there. Unfortunately, while the device is discoverable on Bluetooth, I cannot connect to it. When I try, the microbit's screen goes dark, the Bluetooth display loads, and after about 15 seconds it tells me that it cannot connect.
Is there an app I need to download alongside the file I put onto the microbit and the extension on scratch?
What can I do to troubleshoot?
Sincerely, Cookcook3

Did you have Scratch Link installed?
If not, then download it here. Weirdly, the download link only displays on the Mac version, but it should work (hopefully).

Oh, I have not tried that!
Thank you so much. I had the .hex file but couldn't find the app I needed to download. I will try it soon.
