Experimental Options

Several experimental options are available and they can be activated using flags in the URL. To use one or more of the experimental features, add ?experimental= and whichever feature name(s) below, separated by a pipe | character. For example, to turn on experimental blocks and the XML editing features, you would use the URL https://solo.parallax.com/?experimental=blocks|xedit.

NOTE: No support is provided from Parallax Inc. for use of these features!

Experimental Features

• propc Adds "Propeller C (code only) option to the available board/device types, allowing you to use the BlocklyProp Solo website as a simplified Propeller C editor.
• volatile The blockly propc editor adds a "volatile" declaration to functions that are run in different cogs on the Propeller MCU. This would allow for code optimization by prop-gcc. Currently, the cloud compiler does not support changing the optimization level, and optimization is set to "O0 (none)".
• blocks Makes experimental (pre-release) blocks available in the toolbox. These blocks can change and they may not work, so use them with caution.
• xedit Allows the BlocklyProp's XML to be edited. The button that normally switches between "code" and "blocks" will gain a third state: "XML".

Additional Debugging/Console messages

There are numerous console.log() debugging points throughout the codebase, and most of them are behind a flag: https://solo.parallax.com/?debug=true.

NOTE: NO guarantees are made about what is displayed in the console. What is displayed may change at any time.
