Autoprogram pauses between commands

Does anyone have a 2-5 second delay between commands when using Blockly? What causes this and any ideas on how we can fix it?

If you are talking about the code editor, yes. I have that too. I just switched to VSCode to fix that.

But for Blockly (or the blocks editor), it might be:

  • Your device
  • Your browser
  • Some extensions
  • Blockly Snapping effect (although likely not the case)
  • Switch block setting up python (if you are using the switch block)
  • Having an extreme amount of blocks
  • Something else…

But really, with the 2 sentences and title we have, we cannot deduce much.
Could you, perhaps, give some more data?

The kids built the herobot swish. They added an LED to run the program. It has only a few lines. They wanted the bot to go forward, turn towards the goal and shoot the ball. The bot pauses 2 to 5 seconds before every movement. Very basic.


here is a pic of their current code:
