Experimental Bluetooth Download not working in V2 #3891

Open ngammarano opened 3 years ago

ngammarano commented 3 years ago

Describe the bug

The experimental feature "Bluetooth Download" is not working in micro:bit V2.

To reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Open this project in MakeCode. It is a test project that prints "Hello World", with Bluetooth configuration "No Pairing Required".
  2. Program the HEX file associated to this project to the micro:bit using USB drag and drop.
  3. Now open this project in MakeCode. It is a "catch the dot" game, with Bluetooth configuration "No Pairing Required".
  4. Enable the experimental feature Bluetooth Download in MakeCode (go to "More..." > "About..." > "Experiments").
  5. Reset the micro:bit while pressing A+B (a LED animation appears and then the Bluetooth logo).
  6. Go to "More..." (gear symbol) > "Pair Bluetooth" and then select the micro:bit.
  7. Check the Bluetooth icon appears in the browser tab. Click "Download".
  8. See error: instead of flashing the program via Bluetooth, the HEX file is downloaded to the computer.

This happens just with micro:bit V2. With micro:bit V1, it works as expected.

Expected behavior

In step 8. the program should have been flashed to the micro:bit via Bluetooth. As with micro:bit V1.

Are there any plans to get this fixed? Especially with any kind of robot kit not having to plug in on every iteration would be very practical.

This is working in Windows I guess as I have macbook air 2017 (macOS monterey) both micro:bit v1.5 and v2 not working with bluetooth. Any help! @martinwork
