pxt-ev3's Issues

Simulator routing

Pre-build SVG with placeholders for each component
Rendering of the wires always shows

Design

API design

Implementation

Unclear "Shorthand properties not supported."

I'm facing this weird decompilation bug. This is the API:

        onForTime(power: number, ms: number, brake = false) {

And the code that does not decompile

    output.motorA.onForTime(50, 500, false)

Implementation

Color sensor ambient and reflected colors don't poll for changes

Looking at the code, we only query for changes of the color sensor when the mode is set to Color, and not for AmbientLightIntensity or ReflectedLightIntensity.

@cait1inhennessy have you verified that the ambient and reflected colors work on the physical device? If so, I'm struggling to explain why..

loader image

LEGO to provide art/CSS funky animations for loader image.

Move touch sensor stuff into its own set of blocs

"Touched" , "Bumped", "Released" is the correct terminology.

Images not decompiled properly

Try decompiling and you'll lose the image.

brick.showImage(images.expressionsBigSmile)

and it becomes

brick.showImage(null)

How do we handle multiple infrared modules?

inline images need to be flipped in RTL languages

waitFor block for each event

We need some way in the runtime to wait for an event to happen, similar to the control waitForEvent block.

Images bleed out of the screen

Not sure if the image is too large or if the screen is too small...

Support for displaying built-in images

C++ support
sim support

Images are found in the BrickResources folder when installing the full EV3 editor

minifig avatar

LEGO to provide graphic asset for tutorial avatar.

Event support for received remote commands

The current polling API is not friendly. It should be an event.

Support for playing built in sounds

C++ support
sim support

hero banner

LEGO to provide design/art for home screen banner

Move remote into separate category

Groups are now matching hardware components.

Simulator needs some way of discovering what sensors are connected

The simulator will act as a virtual VM of the EV3 and responds to the same messages sent between our code and the VM code.

The issue is there is a circular dependency here, we need to know what devices are connected in order to communicate on that channel, but there's no way for the simulator to know what devices are connected without something like a designer or some form of reachability.

https://github.com/Microsoft/pxt-ev3/blob/master/libs/core/input.ts#L86
is the point in the code that we poll every 500ms to detect devices, in the simulator we get a message asking us what is connected on each port, but there's no way for us to tell? so it assumes no devices are connected, and thus no subsequent code will run.

@mmoskal @pelikhan thoughts?
