Scratch3 Alphamini extension and enabling other features about codelab_adapter_extensions HOT 9 OPEN

Hi,

Thank so much for making the code available for public. I will try to modifying this extension, and will let you know the result.

Hi @wwj718

Here is my few mod update.
I've succesfully added a dropdown list for block behavior, action, and sound.
added play a sound block. Both local and online
added play wikipedia block
added translate block

I've tested with my alpha mini robot, and it works great. Some features are still work in progress.

Please have a look my mod in case you/anyone want to update or want to makes another version.

Thanks again for your amazing works, especially for making the sources available for public

Hi geraicerdas,

You can achieve these goals with these two blocks, which allow you to get any of the capabilities of Python sdk.

If you would like to do more, you'll even be able to introduce most of Python's capabilities into the Scratch page without rebuilding Scratch. This means that the end user can do it too.

Hi,

Thank you for your reply. I got your viewpoint. You methods also minimize the development efforts.

• make a drop down list for blocks code : behavior, actions, and expressions. As you know this three features are built-in and can't be modified. IMO it would be great if the App let user choose (ex: the behavior name) rather than entering the code name defined by UBTECH.

Yes, getActionList block is quite helpful. Currently we just print out the the action list from the alphamini developer so my kids can easily read the list and choose the action. But it seems the getActionList just returning the list of behavior, action and expression only, not all of the capability of alphamini sdk. CMIIW

So my next question is, could you assist me how to achieve the rest of the goals with the existing extensions and nodes?

• adding playing a sound block. Both local mp3 file and online.
• adding speech recognition block
• adding IR sensor block. My mistake, it is already available in the existing extension
• adding touch sensor block
• and other feature that mentioned in the mini-sdk

For instance in the alphamini sdk demo provided by marklogg, there is a test_sound.py which is can make alphamini playing a cloud mp3 file. Is there any ways to make the alphamini can do this ability?

hi geraicerdas,

We have no plans for more extensions to continue enhancing the Scratch3 Alphamini extension for now, we are trying to provide some generic blocks for users to introduce more capabilities from Python to Scratch , but the usability may not be good enough. The way to improve the usability is to write more code at the UI level, but that need a lot of work and our small team doesn't have more energy to do that at the moment, so sorry. The official UBTECH team might have more motivation to do that, you could contact them, good luck!
