Mouselink

Mouselink on PyPI

better documentation/readme coming soon

Mouselink is a Python package that emulates Scratch Link, which enables Scratch to connect to hardware peripherals such as a micro:bit or an EV3. Mouselink tricks Scratch into thinking that it is Scratch Link, and allows you to connect Scratch to more then their small selection of hardware peripherals, and to software as well!

Installation

To install it, use:

python -m pip install mouselink

You can use the example code found in the examples directory or copy the code below:

from mouselink import mouselink as sl

p = sl.ev3()

def on_got_data(data):
    print(f"Got data: {data}")
    p.send(f"1{data}0") # send back data with some additional data

p.on_read(on_got_data)

p.run()

Developing Mouselink

Clone the repo

git clone https://github.com/minniesBaa/mouselink.git

To test changes, run build-and-test.bat to build and install.

Features (and planned ones)

Implemented

• Add an EV3 to the device list
• Allow Scratch to connect to that EV3
• Transmit data as that EV3

Planned

• Support connecting as other peripherals
  • micro:bit
  • WeDo 2.0
• Allow for more peripherals (like LEGO Spike/RI)
• Custom firmware for peripherals
• Communication using the Translate extention's data saving glitch
