Control Command Scriptstartwait In BLOCKLY Prevents The Script From Stopping.

Im using BLOCKLY to Control Command ScriptStartWait a certain script.  It appears that once the called for script starts it cannot shut down properly.  This only happens when using Control Command ScriptStartWait.  All other times the called for script starts and runs as expected.  This is a new phenomenon and does not occur with a previous version...

4-1 Sensor Noise

Hi Everyone, I am attempting to use the 4-1 Sensor in my Roli project. The 4-1 like all similar sensors I am familiar with outputs a lot of noise. I am using a script that gets multiple samples and then averages the results. This cuts down the erratic nature of the data but degrades the ability to sense a deviation in the process. Any help here?...

question

Hbridge

I have a Roli HBridge that has stopped working Forward on the Right Tread only. I have checked all wiring on EZB4 and the Hbridge. After a short run(3-4) seconds in Forward the Heat Sinked IC becomes very hot, enough to burn the skin. The Hbridge intermittently cuts in and out during this time. Any suggestions? Thankyou
