Hello all!  
I am a STEAM teacher using the Ada Fruit Circuit Playgrounds in conjunction with the [Code.org](http://Code.org) curriculum.  
However, I regularly have problems with students getting behind and not being able to catch up since they don’t have access to circuit boards from home.

I know that MakeCode has a digital version of the circuit board, but when we copy and paste JavaScript code from the [Code.org](http://Code.org)’s App Lab, MakeCode doesn’t recognize any of the App Lab circuit board functions.

Does anyone know of an extension or library that would make [Code.org](http://Code.org) commands compatible with MakeCode?

I think it depends on which version of the Circuit Playground you have. The Classic version has a different architecture and won’t work with MakeCode…but if you’re using the Express, it should work with both [Code.org](http://Code.org) CS Discoveries and MakeCode.

I don’t believe there’s currently an extension to translate from one library to another, but if you’re using the Express in both cases, it should be possible for someone to create one.
