If you’re tired of debugging other people’s complex code examples (that don’t work for you), or having to learn a new SDK and IDE each time you buy a new board, then this workshop about MicroBlocks is for you. We’ll get hands-on right away so that you can ditch the old-school ways of programming microcontrollers with complex tools and techniques.
Join the new revolution of "liveness" with a small, fast, human-friendly GUI that leverages drag-and-drop coding blocks. Sound too limited? Nope, you can use simple radio send [string|number] values as well as sophisticated IoT connectivity options such as BLE, Wi-Fi, MQTT, UDP, WebSockets, and more. Every option is easy to implement because the "hard" work has already been done in the low-level firmware. You get to focus on the logic and design of your creation. You get to use the same user-friendly software development tool no matter which board you pick up. Your projects are hardware agnostic so they can run on multiple different chipsets and boards.
