Open the Extensions Window
Loading the “Marty the Robot” extension
Click on the Marty the Robot extension to load it.
If you're using a command hub
Scratch will now scan your network for Martys and show a list of available robots.

Found a Marty!
Click Connect
Using your own WiFi
If you're using your own WiFi rather than a command hub, you will probably need to Connect Manually using Marty's IP address.
You can find this IP address using the Marty the Robot v1 app
Click the button, then simply enter the IP:
Manually Connect, showing example IP 192.168.8.42`
Once you're connected
Then, click the “Go to Editor” button

You’ll see a bunch of Marty blocks have appeared at the bottom of the list - You can now use these blocks to program your Marty!
