To connect to the Thymio, you can use either Aseba 1.6.1 (select Thymio (asebahttp) in the Robot popdown menu above) or Thymio Suite (select Thymio (Thymio Device Manager) in the Robot popdown menu above; in Linux, follow these instructions).

To connect to your Thymio from this web application served via https, use Chrome or Chromium. Firefox does not work. Your own observations on these browsers and others are appreciated.

With Aseba 1.6.1, please check that:

The robot is connected to your computer and switched on.
You've started asebahttp. Open a terminal window, change to the directory with a recent version of asebahttp, and type a command like

asebahttp.exe "ser:port=6" -s 33333               # Windows
./asebahttp 'ser:device=/dev/ttyUSB0' -s 33333    # Mac
./asebahttp 'ser:device=/dev/ttyACM0' -s 33333    # Linux

If the connection fails there, check carefully that the device specification is correct. If you launch Aseba Studio, it should display it at startup; but don't connect directly to it! If you also want a connection from Aseba Studio, you must connect indirectly via asebahttp, because there can be only one connection via the serial port.

With Thymio Suite, please check that:

The robot is connected to your computer and switched on.
You've started the Thymio Device Manager. In Linux, open a terminal window and type the command below:

flatpak run --command=thymio-device-manager org.mobsya.ThymioSuite  # Linux

In the simulator, you can drag and drop image files to set the ground and height, and svg files to set the obstacles (switch to the simulator and select the kind of map you want to set first by clicking the button with three little rectangles; then drag and drop the image file to the simulator window). Here are files you can try, which correspond to the default maps:
