I tried to connect scratch to micro:bit.

According to the guidance:

Install [Scratch Link](https://scratch.mit.edu/microbit) (skip this step for Chrome OS and Android).

I tried chrome browser on Andoid.

Scratch can not find micro:bit (using bluetooth).

I have flash the hex file into micro:bit, and have seen see the five-character name of the micro:bit scroll across the screen eg ‘zutiz’.

mcrobit-more did work, but I need to use mit scratch website.

Is there anyway let scratch work on Android?

@create To connect on Android, you’ll need to use the Scratch app rather than the chrome browser [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.scratch](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.scratch)

The notes in [https://scratch.mit.edu/download](https://scratch.mit.edu/download) state that it is only compatible with Android tablet devices.

> No. The current version of Scratch for Android only works on tablets.
