known issues
- bot.navigate.stop() doesn't work
- no sensors supported
- occasionally fails on page load (refresh - F5 resolves the issue)
__name__ resolves to builtins instead of __main__. This is a known issue and should be fixed in pyodide upstream.- Occasionally, some API call doesn't unblock, which in turn stalls a task.
- The issue occurs especially when the API calls are made at high rate or from more tasks simultaneously.
- To confirm this is the case, see the console for warning:
the RPC order advanced by more than 1. If you see this, you encountered the performance issue. - The only workaround is to reduce the number of API calls made, or run the Editor on more performant hardware.
- The Ozobot team is aware of the issue and architected a solution; however, the implementation will take some time.
- Mac Montery occassionally has timeout issues during update. Under investigation.
