Some Scratch commands stop working after using custom blocks about s2a_fm

[MrYsLab]

I apologize for the problem, but unfortunately this is a bug in Scratch
that I had hoped would be addressed by now, but has not. I encourage you
to report this as a bug to the Scratch team. There are other bugs as
well - if there are command blocks in a loop, the loop may only execute
once and then quit.

You may wish to try Snap! ( http://snap.berkeley.edu/) that is similar
to Scratch. It does not exhibit this behavior.

If you have any further issues or questions, please don't hesitate to
contact me.

Thanks,
Alan

A script containing custom blocks (enable digital pin and digital
writes) headed by a green flag only works when clicking the whole
block but not the green flag. Same happens with other green flag
blocks. Also it is not possible to open or create a new file without
closing first the application.

Versions:

• OSX 10.9.1
• Arduino UNO with Standard Firmata uploaded.
• Scratch 2 v385
• Python 2.7.6

Thanks Alan!

I will report this bug to the Scratch team because I'm really interested on
this. I'm teaching Scratch to kids and it would be awesome to connect it to
Arduino. Snap is also a good choice but they are not used to it and I don't
know if it will work for them.

I also detected the problem with the commands within a loop but there is
hack moving them inside "when i receive message" blocks. I guess this has
something to how Scratch handles the broadcast message creating new threads
that don't block the main one.

Thanks,

David
