Not connecting to Lego Boost on Windows 10 #163

Closed ThomasEnzinger closed 4 years ago

Expected Behavior

I'm trying to connect the Lego BOOST set for my son to https://scratch.mit.edu/boost.

Actual Behavior

I'm trying to make it work for quite some time now, and actually one time I succeeded. I could control the Lego BOOST motors. So I know my hardware is capable to do the job. But I since then I was not able to make it work again, and the behavior is quite strange: When I click 'Start Searching' I can see the search-window (with the image of the BOOST) for a fraction of a second. Then it immediately changes to the screen which tells me '(1) Make sure you have Scratch Link installed and running (2) Check that Bluetooth is enabled'.

Steps to Reproduce

Operating System and Browser

Issues with your own personal setup for a device are best addressed to contact us: https://scratch.mit.edu/contact-us/

However, @ThomasEnzinger it may be worth going into your OS's bluetooth settings and "Forget" the boost and try again. Sometimes your OS prevents Scratch Link from finding the device.
