I have been using mBlock to program the Arduino and really like it. I have even started making my own blocks and extensions. Here’s my question:
Does mBlock have a control mode to interact with the Arduino in real time? If you know s4a, then that is what I am talking about. Without uploading the program, you can control the Arduino inputs and monitor the outputs. Usually you have to upload the Firmata software the Arduino for any communication to work.
I like the “real” downloading that mBlock does, but curious if there is any Firmata s4a style real time computer control - interaction possible too. Or if not with the Arduino, then with any other mBot product.
- – --NEVERMIND – --
Nevermind, seems I was trying the harder stuff before trying the basic.
Doing what I talked about above is accomplished by pressing the “Upgrade Firmware” button (why not “Upload Firmware”?), and then replace the “mBot Program” header with the flag.
Then it works like I mentioned.
Thanks,
Andrew
