Code Kit: The ULTIMATE Block Coding App for Arduino

[@fench1234567]

This is AWESOME!!! I've programmed before in school, but never very much, and the language changes/updates every time you blink. I've been dreading trudging through syntax just to get a few contingencies and loops mapped out for a simple board setup.

[@edukits]

We're so glad that you're having a blast using Code Kit!

[@Mr30shooter]

Great!for beginner in coding, block type will be more intuitive

[@edukits]

Thanks for the positive feedback! We designed Code Kit with beginners in mind-we're so glad that you find it intuitive and accessible. Happy coding!

[@rickbronx8528]

At last. Thank you so much for this environment

[@edukits]

Of course! We hope you have a blast building with Code Kit :)

[@DavidHughes-ir3kf]

This is great but how do you know what the schematic will be and how do you go about actually running the code on the arduino with the sensors? am I missing something?

[@edukits]

Thanks for your question! Great to see you're interested in the details. Code Kit is all about block coding - you drag and drop blocks to create Arduino code. So there's no schematic generation, but you can build your project and then use Code Kit to program it. As for running the code, you've got options! You can export it to the Arduino IDE, or if you have a Code Kit Pro subscription, upload directly to your board. The sensors just plug into your board as usual. Hope that helps clear things up! Let us know if you have any other questions - always happy to assist fellow makers!

Thanks for your comment! We're just busy practising our stealth mode. 😉 Next stop: Overrated! 🚀

[@mattadams7261]

I like this. It is interesting. I can assume that you can do libraries also, right?

[@edukits]

Hey Matt, there are a variety of block categories that unlock different sorts of functionality within the app. Inside the Block Loader, which is like a 'library' manager, you can customise which of these categories are displayed in the toolbox. For example, you can find servo and stepper control in the Motion category, and addressable RGB LED blocks in the Colour category.

Can You Show how to use a servo im cant get it to work

[@orville725]

Hi just what i was looking for. Can code kit reverse Arduino code into blocks and edit?

[@edukits]

Thanks for your comment, Orville! At present, code-to-blocks isn't supported by Code Kit, but it's something we're working on. We'll be sure to put up a new video when the feature becomes available to the public!

[@edukits]

One year on, you can check out a first demo of Blockmorph, our new code-to-blocks tool! kzbin.info/www/bejne/pYqmpaKupd-DeMU

[@matthewanacleto7885]

Can you add extra libraries? Like the Neopixel library?

[@edukits]

Hey Matt, you can find our blocks for Neopixel control in the 'Colour' category! With these blocks, you can attach a Neopixel strip and set the colour of each LED individually.

[@matthewanacleto7885]

@@edukits Thanks, but I'm going to need an example/sample. I can barely make the correlation.

[@iraaav2323]

hi! i'm new to coding, and i'm kinda confused on how we'll set a pin as INPUT rather than OUTPUT. i'll really appreciate it if you could help me out!

[@edukits]

Hey, you can use a pin as an input by using the 'Digital Read' or 'Analog Read' blocks. These blocks read the value of the pin and let you respond to different cases in your code.

[@matthewanacleto7885]

How do we know if the code you wrote worked?

[@edukits]

You can test out the code by uploading directly (pro version) or exporting a file to use with the Arduino IDE. One of the neat things about working with blocks is that you can avoid many tiny bugs and typos, so your code should generally work as intended.

Interesting

[@edukits]

Thanks Adam! We're glad you think so.
