Blockl@rduino AIO 'All In One'

Arduino UNO

Arduino Mega 2560

Generic ESP8266 IC

<p ><strong >The purpose is to permit 'Scratch-block' programming for Arduino card, with many features needed for kids in school &amp; newbies.</strong></p><p ><span >Everyone knows Scratch and the way it made easy the program learning for every child in the world. I was looking for a software which permits blocks programming and code generating. I found </span><a href="https://github.com/BlocklyDuino">BlocklyDuino </a><span >but it was left unworked for months. After contacting its creator David Li I decided to create my own fork.</span></p><p ><span >After few months, with help, I created a totally new version from the original </span><a href="https://developers.google.com/blockly/">Blockly </a><span >new version: </span><a href="http://blocklyarduino.technologiescollege.fr/">Blockly@rduino.</a></p><p ><a href="https://create.arduino.cc/projecthub/libreduc/blockly-rduino-create-code-with-blocks-b6d3e4?ref=user&ref_id=69665&offset=1">https://create.arduino.cc/projecthub/libreduc/blockly-rduino-create-code-with-blocks-b6d3e4?ref=user&amp;ref_id=69665&amp;offset=1 </a></p><div class="se-component se-video-container __se__float-none" contenteditable="false" style="width: 100%;"><figure style="width: 100%; height: 56.25%; padding-bottom: 56.25%; margin: 0px;"><iframe frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="" src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/197565157" data-proportion="true" data-percentage="100%,56.25%" data-size="100%,56.25%" data-align="none" style="width: 100%; height: 100%;" data-index="0" data-file-size="0" data-origin="100%,56.25%"></iframe></figure></div><p >But kids still needed to copy-paste in Arduino IDE before uploading..not very easy for them to understand everything.

Theboard auto detection interact with Blockly@rduino throught Electron and allows uploading. But after uploading FirmataPlus in a board, you can also interact and read sensors, test actuators.</p><p ><span >Thanks for testing, proposing enhancement, helping, translting, fixing any bug, posting in the forum: </span><a href="http://blockly.technologiescollege.fr/forum/">http://blockly.technologiescollege.fr/forum/</a></p>
