Hi @sandiferc and others following this thread,
We’ve been investigating the recent issues with Circuit Playground connectivity on Google Chrome and discovered the issue: The Circuit Playground devices are no longer able to connect on Chromebooks with the latest version of Chrome (version 89).
Update 3/26 - We’ve found the fix for this! See this update below. Otherwise, our original post is below
Our team is actively investigating a fix for this issue. In the meantime, if you haven’t updated Chrome to the latest version yet and can hold off, we recommend waiting until you are finished with Unit 6 before updating. If you’ve already updated and your students are now blocked from using the Circuit Playgrounds on your Chromebooks following the update, we do have some recommendations for alternatives to CSD Unit 6
We understand that this is a concerning issue and are working hard to understand what options we have to address this problem.
We will share an update as soon as we have more information.If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to support@code.org.
