Makeblock App - Arduino

#1

Hi,

I want to program my own buttons in the Makeblock App (HD). Is it possible to switch the programming language to arduino ? I dont want to use mBlock…

Cheers

You can either go through the mBlock app and use the embedded Arduino IDE:

  1. Open Arduino View
  2. Edit in Arduino

---- or ----

You can download and install the Makeblock-Official libraries (link) and install them in your instance of the Arduino IDE.

Hi and thanks for the answer. But I am sure that explained my problem properly.
I want to change the language in the Makeblock App. This way I dont have to start from 0.
And it is possible to adjust the Makeblock app / make your own projects. But I can’t find find where I can switch there from mBlock to Arduino…

Oh, are you referring to the iPad app? If so, you may be out of luck. I haven’t seen the source posted anywhere.

You will need to work through the firmata on Github to communicate over the air and understand that this will not enable you to upload a program to the robot because the wireless connections do not have access to the onboard avrdude programmer. This will likely require you to write your own app.

Going through mBlock on Windows or OS X, the sequence is Edit->Arduino Mode, and then selecting the Edit with Arduino IDE button.

Sorry that I can’t be of more help.

Then I will try to write my own app :slight_smile:

No worries, just sorry that I can’t provide any other guidances. You can always copy @tec_support to see if they are going to make the source available. :slight_smile:
