Hello Scratchers!

Are you interested in connecting your Scratch projects to the physical world using tools like the Pico Board, LEGO WeDo, or other hardware? This is the perfect place to share your experiences, ask questions, and discover new projects that bring Scratch to life in the real world!

How to Use This Topic:

Share Your Projects: Have you created a Scratch project that interacts with the physical world? Whether it’s controlling lights, sensors, motors, or other hardware, share your project here! Don’t forget to include details about the hardware you used and how others can try it out.

Ask for Help: If you’re new to physical computing or having trouble getting your setup to work, feel free to ask questions. This community is here to help, whether you need advice on wiring, programming, or troubleshooting.

Share Resources: Found a great tutorial, video, or guide on connecting Scratch to physical devices? Share it here! We can all learn from each other and find new ways to enhance our projects.

Project Ideas: Looking for inspiration? Let’s brainstorm ideas for projects that combine Scratch with physical computing. From simple sensor projects to more complex robotic builds, the possibilities are endless!

Example Posts:

“I just finished a project where I used a Pico Board to control LED lights through Scratch. Here’s how I did it and the code I used: . Feel free to ask me any questions!”
“I’m having trouble connecting my LEGO WeDo motor to Scratch. The motor doesn’t seem to respond to my commands. Does anyone know what might be wrong?”
“Check out this tutorial on connecting Scratch to a micro

No one is distracting anyone - these guides aren't allowed in the forums, so I have reported it so that Scratch Team can close it.

why? aren't guides allowed?? To help more scratchers and new scratchers?

Because it clutters up the forums. Instead, we let Scratchers and New Scratchers ask their own questions.

"Hello! It's great that you want to help out other Scratchers. However, I think we have enough guides in the forums at the moment. Please feel free to welcome new Scratchers on the group welcoming topic or on individual topics created by New Scratchers.

Other places that can always use more helpful Scratchers like you, are the “”Help With Scripts“” and “”Questions About Scratch“” areas - please use them as designed, by responding to topics created by folks with problems to solve

Finally, a really good place for Scratch guides is the Scratch Wiki - check it out and see if it's something you might like to work on. They have a number of guides - and great organization."
