Hi, has anyone used the “Math & Automatic Touch Keyboard for micro:bit” - planned on using with MicroPython - first tried to get working with an extension block from the product support wiki and using block code with makecode.microbit.org editor but cannot see how to load extension from whats available.
Thanks.

Hi Paul,

The wiki seems to suggest you need to set up a microbit development environment to get their library working, which to me seems not good enough. I’m spinning up one now, and will update this thread when it has spat out something more usable for you.

Hi Paul,

Try using the import button with this .hex file:

If this works, let me know and I’ll update our product page

Thanks James - the .hex file import worked - adding the Math_Automatic extensions - much appreciated,
Paul

Hi Paul,

Fantastic! Let me know when you’ve verified the device works with the library, and I’ll put it up on the product page for future puzzled makers.

Baffling as to why the designers wouldn’t just upload the .hex themselves!
