I've just installed s2m for the first time and when I type s2m in the cmd window, Scratch opens but there are no Microbit related blocks in the 'more block section. I have a Microbit connected and I don't see any errors when trying to launch s2m:

I installed everything following the directions here:
https://mryslab.github.io/s2m/usage/#starting-s2m-on-windows-mac-and-linux
I'm running windows 10.

It looks like you are using an older version of the micro:bit script. Please install this version on your micro:bit https://github.com/MrYsLab/s2m/blob/master/s2m/micro_bit_scripts/s2mb_min.py

If that doesn't solve your problem , please try a manual start described here:
https://mryslab.github.io/s2m/usage/#manually-starting-s2m-and-scratch

Please let me know if changing the script solves your problem. I realized that I did not update the User's Guide with the latest script and that may have caused the issue for you. I apologize for that and the Guide now shows the latest script.

Could you please try typing in:

s2m -d true

and send me a screenshot of the results.

When I run this command, this is what I see:

The username should be yours, but everything else should be similar.

That should not have mattered. Is the path the same even though the version is different?

@alb4h Are you still having the issue? If so, some questions:

  1. Did you use pip to install s2m?
  2. If you did use pip, did you use the --user option? That will install files in a roaming directory and s2m does use roaming directories.
  3. Could you please provide a screenshot of the console output after running
s2m -d true

@alb4h Just to let you know, if you sent the screenshot, I did not receive it.

GitHub is kind of picky when it comes to sending images. I find the easiest way is to go into the GitHub issues page (here is the link for your issue: #27), and then attach the file as per instructions in the bottom of the comment - I did a screenshot of what I am referring to

Screenshot follows:

I am not sure if you had a chance to resend or not, but in the meantime, here is something else to check:

Make sure that the Python paths have been set correctly. If you check your environment Path variables, you should see two entries that look something like this:

C:\Users\Alan\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36\Scripts\
C:\Users\Alan\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36\

These variables are automatically set if you selected "Add Python 3.x to PATH when you installed Pytnon.
There is a checkbox at the bottom of the Python install dialog to do so:

python2

Any version of Python from 3.5 forward should work.

If you wish to send me an email directly, you can find my email address here
