Converting struct.pack to MakeCode Javascript blocks
I have some working MicroPython code that uses struct to send data from the micro:bit to another microcontroller board using I2C. I have converted the Python code to send buffered data 'one byte at a time' using the Javascript/Typescript window in https://makecode.microbit.org/ . For example: i2c.wr...

Nice!
You just need to work on the Grove ultrasonic module now

Re: MY9221 - Grove LED Bar
I know - I have one! They have produced a MakeCode package for the "Grove Inventor's Kit for micro:bit". The package includes support for the non-trivial devices in that Kit (Ultrasonic, 4x7-seg display and Gesture sensor). Very good stuff. Would be good to couple the Grove LED bar with the Grove ul...

You are correct. Since you haven't had a reply here, maybe you should raise an issue on GitHub so the author can correct it?

Re: UART on Micro:Bit
I don't know. Have you tried putting a sleep(x) command in before the last uart.init(), where x is a delay in mSecs (e.g. 10)?

Re: UART on Micro:Bit
If you initialise the uart without parameters, I think that the USB-UART TX/RX pins are used - which connect to the USB serial convertor on the micro:bit. If you initialise the uart and specify which pins to use, like this uart.init(baudrate=9600, bits=8, parity=None, stop=1, tx=pin0, rx=pin1) then ...

Re: UART on Micro:Bit
Possible causes of no data at all:
1. Tx -> Rx
Rx -> Tx
not connected correctly
2. Baud rates/stop bits don't match at both ends.

Re: Ultrasonic (US-100/HC-SR04) and sound sensor (KY038) libraries
I tried a range of resistances to attentuate the echo signal but it had no effect on the distance measurement.
It's a shame about the 5v requirement for this sensor. Your library gives consistent results so it's quite useable for collision avoidance.

Re: Ultrasonic (US-100/HC-SR04) and sound sensor (KY038) libraries
I've got two power supplies with a common ground. The 5v supply just connects to the 5v and GND pins on the sensor. The micro:bit is powered from the 3.3V supply and the trig and echo pins on the sensor are connected to the micro:bit i/o pins.
