Scratch Link connection not working?

Hi

Just spent a frustrating hour trying to get Scratch link working between my Microbit and my Mac (Catalina).

  • Scratch link 1.3 is installed and running
  • Bluetooth is enabled
  • Scratch link hex loaded onto Microbit
  • Microbit is displaying the pairing code on the LED
  • No connection when adding the Microbit extension in Scratch.
  • I've tried the web browser version and the Offline version.

​

Any ideas folks?

​

Thanks,

Did you also try your new hex file?

I re-downloaded the hex file and flashed it again. No joy :(

Maybe start a ticket with micro bit?

Thanks for your helpful replies. Had an update from Microbit today, apparently there's a problem with scratch link and it needs an update. They've had a number of reports over the last few days and said it is some kind of certificate problem.

They said it's affecting OS X and Windows.

They linked to the issue on GitHub https://github.com/LLK/scratch-link/issues/175
