Yes, it does and Codey Rocky only works with the official Bluetooth dongle of Makeblock.

1. Codey Rocky connects via a Bluetooth connection with mobile devices such as mobile phones and iPads so no Bluetooth dongle needs to be purchased separately;
2. However, the wireless connection between Codey Rocky and a computer requires an official Makeblock Bluetooth adapter, which needs to be purchased separately.

Supported by mBlock 5, which is developed on the basis of Scratch 3.0, not only does Codey Rocky allow you to code in building blocks but also in Python after switching with just one click. It features AI technologies such as face and voice recognition as well as deep learning.

Bundled with Codey Rocky are mBlock 5 programming software and Makeblock App, which are code learning software developed by Makeblock; no separate purchase is required.

Rocky is the carriage which takes Codey wherever it goes and will only operate when Codey sits on it.

It will operate for 2 hours when fully charged.

Codey Rocky has a variety of built in sensors, which are sufficient to meet all the basic creative requirements. Compatible with the Makeblock Neuron, an electronic building block platform, Codey Rocky can have its functions expanded with Makeblock Neuron; however, other sensors are not supported.

Currently it comes only in white.

1. Line up Codey close to the dongle, which will automatically pair up with Codey. When the light on the dongle stops flashing, they will have paired up successfully;
2. Press the button on the dongle so that the light on the dongle flashes before lining up Codey close to the dongle. When the blue light on the dongle stops flashing, they will have paired up successfully.

1. Please ensure that your Codey Rocky is connected to your computer.
2. If the dongle is to be connected via Bluetooth, please check if the dongle is flashing; if it does, this means that the connection is unsuccessful, and you will need to restart the Bluetooth dongle;
3. If none of the above appears to be amiss, try to re-start the software and select an appropriate serial port (if there are several, please try them out one by one).

Codey Rocky connects wirelessly with a computer via the Bluetooth dongle of Makeblock. To ensure a good connection, Codey Rocky only supports connection via the Bluetooth dongle it officially recognises. Mobile devices such as mobile phones and iPads can be connected to via their built-in Bluetooth without a separate Bluetooth dongle.

Currently Codey Rocky will only run your programs after they have been written and uploaded to the device.

There could be a problem with the driver of your graphics card, as mBlock requires opengl, so a graphics card driver of a lower version may return a blank screen. Please use the driver wizard to update the graphics card driver.

Certain anti-virus and protection software might block mBlock software from connecting to ports. Such protection software should be turned off or disabled when running the alpha version of the software.

1. Please update the driver of your graphics card to the latest version. You may wish to use a updating software similar to a driver wizard, or go to the official website and look for the latest graphics card driver.
2. If everything had worked before, this problem may occur if you open the software immediately upon turning on Codey Rocky, as the operating system has not been fully up and running. Troubleshooting: Reboot the mBlock 5 software.

If Codey is damaged and cannot be restored by updating its firmware, you may try to restore its factory settings.
After the software and the device are connected to each other, select the device window below the Stage Area, then click the Settings button in the top right corner of the device field before selecting Restore to Factory Settings.

The IoT functionality requires a connection to the Cloud. You need to register an account with mBlock, after which you can log into mBlock and start using the IoT functionality. Registration: Click the round icon in the top right corner of the software.

Q10: Where should I click to turn on the IoT functionality?

Codey Rocky does not have a voice recognition feature, so conversation with it is not yet possible. However, voice control is possible if it is bundled with the voice recognition module of Neuron.

It can detect sound volume.
