  @robolink_leila The broken link was in the earlier reference in your message when I first joined the forum. I have been using that link for a short while and just recently tried it again when I got the error message. Thank you for the information and working new site!

  @GEMSLPC We recommend using Blockly because we are actively maintaining that site and can offer support. Blockly will run on most Windows, Mac, and Chromebook computers. Chrome is very easy to update and oftentimes it updates automatically. Unless the student's computer is an old laptop that may not have Bluetooth BLE built-in, you should not have any issues using Blockly in the class.

  @taraberg Since you will need to download various software and hardware files for using Python with CoDrone, you will need a compatible Windows or MacOS device. As for the browser-based Arduino workaround, I am not aware that it is still supported. I believe they changed their model to a paid subscription. You would also need to upload our files for our board as well should you go that route. The easiest way to use CoDrone with Chromebooks would be with Blockly.

  @jamie Great! The same driver will work for Python as well. If you have trouble, make sure to specify the port you are on (copied over from Blockly).

  @clarry290 Unfortunately we do not offer lessons for the use of that particular block with CoDrone Lite. However, we have made lessons for using the sensor blocks with our newest product, CoDrone Mini. Those lessons will be released by the end of this month. Although the Blockly environments are slightly different, you can use the CoDrone Mini lessons as a guide to get you started. I will let you know when those lessons are live. Thank you for your question!

  @azza This has been updated on our side but unfortunately the lesson is still under review to be released. In the meantime, you can follow the instructions here on the Google Doc. Make sure you download the Rokit library again following the instructions in the document, and make sure to delete the old files!
