Can't find the "bluetooth start midi service" block #9

Closed gunhaxxor closed 6 years ago

gunhaxxor commented 6 years ago

I've watched an example video online (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RA8Y_zW4jn0) where they use a block from the bluetooth category to start the bluetooth midi service.

But it is nowhere to be found when adding the bluetooth-midi package to the makecode project. What is wrong?

In the current version, "bluetooth start midi service" block is unnecessary. It will auto start. I checked it with v2.0.12. By the way, the example video you showed is what I made in the past.

Ok. I would advice for making the documentation a bit more thourough.

For me I it worked when I deactivated pairing requirement in the project settings in the microbit block editor (makecode.microbit.org).

Things that are/were unclear to me: How must the microbit be paired for the library to work? The midi library starts the ble-service automatically (why?). How do you send control change messages? The function block only seem to expect one parameter, while cc usually contains a cc "address" and a value.

The issue with Control Change is due to the "pxt-midi" package. So, I submitted the issue to "pxt-midi".
