# Blockly4Arduino

Graphically program your Arduino on Chrome OS, or Windows, Apple, Linux via the Chrome, Firefox ... browser. Program it if online with

1. [English Blockly4Arduino](http://blokkencode.ingegno.be/index_en.html)

2. [Nederlandse Blockly4Arduino](http://blokkencode.ingegno.be/index.html)

To use off-line, download this code repo as a zip file, extract on your PC or on the Intranet, and run it by clickling in your file explorer on the file `Blockly4Arduino/blockly4Arduino/index_en.html`.

Developed with support from [Ingegno.be](http://ingegno.be) and [VZW De Creatieve STEM](http://decreatievestem.be).

## Manual and examples

Dutch: [Nederlandse handleiding](http://ingegno.be/01-blockly-4-arduino/)

Example blocks: [The basic Arduino sketches, Ingegno UGO&TESS blocks, and Ingegno LedUpKidz](http://ingegno.be/01-blockly-4-arduino/#Voorbeeld_blok_sketches). Blockly4Arduino can do it!

## General Info

This is the code of website created for the LedUpKidz project, but usable also more generally.
*Blockly for Arduino or Genuino* allows to program your Arduino with blocks, ideal for novices to learn the basics. Blockly for Arduino is also touch friendly so can be used on a tablet.

## Translations
Would you like to submit a translation of the website for your language? This can be done easily:

1. from [our ardublockly branch](https://github.com/bmcage/ardublockly/tree/blockly4arduino/blockly/msg/json) copy from the file en.json the string codes starting with `ARD`, as well as the codes under those, to your language file, eg `de.json`
2. Translate them. 
3. Send them to us, or do a pull request against our branch of blockly.

We plan to make the demo site more easily translatable. At the moment, to obtain a version for your language, you need to create a copy of this repo, and create a copy of Blockly4Arduino [index_en.html](https://github.com/ingegno/Blockly4Arduino/blob/master/Blockly4Arduino/index_en.html) and translate the few strings present. See the Dutch site for such a translation: [index.html](https://github.com/ingegno/Blockly4Arduino/blob/master/Blockly4Arduino/index.html).

# For developers

The code is based on the branch *blockly4arduino* from [bmcage/ardublockly](https://github.com/bmcage/ardublockly). The directory structure locally should be:

`./git/ardublockly` (branch blockly4arduino from [bmcage](https://github.com/bmcage/ardublockly)

`./git/closure-library` (from [google](https://github.com/google/closure-library))

`./git/Blockly4Arduino`

In ardublockly run `git submodule update --init --recursive` to obtain the submodules. Then in de subdirectory `blockly` run `python build.py` to build the blockly version of ardublockly. 

In Blockly4Arduino run `python create_site.py`, which will update Blockly4Arduino with the files needed for the website.
