Hi

if i use the Micro:Bit Edge Connector extension in a MakeCode Arcade project - as soon as i call any of the blocks the code freezes…

This was first reported over a year ago on GitHub…

> The sprite moves around, buzzer beeps when button A is pressed. on pin2 we have a small motor controlled via a FET. I expected the pin to go high wait and go low, to turn the motor on and off after 500 milliseconds. Once I press button B the code locks up and can not control the sprite or sound the buzzer.

Anyone know if any progress on this has or will be made please?

I have projects in “standard” MakeCode for Micro:Bit that i should like to enhance using MakeCode Arcade but to do this i will need access to the pins on the Edge Connector from within Arcade

Thanks
