This release works with Windows, Linux, and MacOS and corrects a number of USB connection problems that were seen on Windows. The packages included in this release contain:

  • Scratch2-ThymioII, a script that runs the asebascratch helper preconfigured with the right .aesl file
  • Thymio-II.sb2, a simple Scratch 2 scene showing the robot's status
  • A folder of some simple examples, including:
    • Thymio-II sensors, which shows sensor values when you click on the Scratch 2 backdrop
    • Spirograph arcs, which shows how odometry can be used to synchronize a sprite's position
  • Two extension interfaces, Thymio-II and Thymio-II Basic, that can be added to Scratch 2
  • A French translation, in a .po file that can be added to Scratch 2
  • Bundled versions of libraries needed in different operating systems

You will need to have the robot connected by USB when you start the helper. On Windows, you will need to have installed the Aseba tools that came with the robot, because they provide a necessary USB driver.

Feel free to note technical issues here, but for thoughts about Scratch2–ThymioII integration including comments on the choice of blocks and so on, please participate in the discussions at http://dm1r.inria.fr.

The asebascratch and asebahttp helpers come from commit davidjsherman/aseba@f45c83c of my fork of the Aseba tools.

Thanks in advance for your feedback.

Update: Scratch2-ThymioII-0.6.2-MacOS_patch1.dmg, below, corrects a bug where the wrong version of libxml2 was linked.
