MakeCode Errors When Coding Sensors for Mi: Node

There's not enough information, can you insert screenshots of what you're doing and a screenshot of the error message that you see? You might also need to insert a photo or two (high quality, well-lit) of the setup.

You can use the Insert->Image/Video File menu option to insert a screenshot (.png or .jpg file for instance).

If there is any code, then use Insert->Code so that it is formatted well.

Thank you for the quick response. I will be putting it all together and forwarding as soon as possible.

I tried to upload everything as PDFs, which were very clear, but they did not appear to come through. I then did them as PNGs. My son then put in the code in python via "insert code". I apologize for the formatting errors in this communication. I am used to straight emails.

def on_light_sensor_analog_a1():
    minode.rgb_set_color(ConnName.D13, 255, 255, 255)
minode.on_light_sensor_event(AnalogConnName.ANALOG_A1, on_light_sensor_a1)

These are Jpeg attachments of what I tried to attach last night.

I don't know the answer, but it looks like a version inconsistency for sure.

Some other info here: https://forums.pimoroni.com/t/scroll-bit-and-inky-bit-927-error/15655

You could try coding something else (e.g. not use the minode.rgb_set_color for instance)  to identify if its just certain operations that cause the error. In other words, the 927 error might disappear if you avoid using one or two features of the board.

Even if you need the RGB light, just as an initial quick experiment, remove that and see if the error still occurs. If it still occurs, then put it back and remove the light sensor function, and reattempt. Just to see what precisely causes it.

 Other than that, I can't think of what else to try with the hardware that you have. I presume you have upgraded any firmware on the board(s)?

You might need to reach out to the help on the Microbit website in case it is something they can fix in their coding environment.

Thank you very much. I did upgrade the firmware on the Micro:bit. I did not think that there was any on the Mi:node, but am checking into that. (It appeared that it was an accessory to the Micro:bit without any firmware of its own.) We couldn't get the Mi:node light sensor to work without the RGB light, when we tried to just have the LEDs light up for the Mi:node light sensor. We will look into these other suggestions. Thanks again.
