MakeCode Errors When Coding Sensors for Mi: Node

pcnabhani

I am a beginner with the Mi:node and Micro:bit. When using MakeCode I only get error message 927 when coding for Mi:node (V.1) for Micro:bit (V.2). When Mi:node is unplugged from the Micro:bit, MakeCode works for simple coding for Micro:bit. I need to get the Mi:node sensors to work for my son’s STEM project. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    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.
