Trying to think of troubleshooting steps. Can you confirm that you are able to connect to other Bluetooth devices?

benjiwheeler commented 5 years ago

Is your micro bit powered by a USB cable or a battery pack?

a-pasquale commented 5 years ago

Bluetooth is working; I can connect to other devices. I am powering the microbit with a USB cable.

Please try updating to the latest version of scratch link (available from scratch.mit.edu/microbit)

I just updated again, but no luck. Scratch Link 1.18.827.1749 57133af macOS Version 10.14.5 (Build 18F132) Thanks for the suggestions.

@a-pasquale Sorry for the trouble. Based on the info you've provided (thank you!) it looks like the update process failed. You initially had a pre-release version of Scratch Link, from August 2018, and you still have that same version. The current version is 1.1.46. We have seen a problem where the installer is not able to overwrite pre-release versions. I think what you will need to do is manually remove the old version by deleting it from your applications folder, and run the installer again for the new version.

Thanks, that solved it. Much appreciated!
