Repl.it lets you program in your browser | #Programming #Maker #MakerED #MakerSpaces  | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

No matter whether you are a seasoned programmer or you simply want to take your first steps in writing code, Repl.it wants to help you get from idea to result as fast as possible — without complicated installs and setup procedures getting in your way.

The Y Combinator-funded project, which released version 1.0 of its service this week, gives you an easy to use programming environment in the browser, which slowly reveals its complexity as you write your code.

 

The acronym REPL stands for read-eval-print loop and basically provides a programmer with an interactive programming environment. Unsurprisingly, that’s exactly what Repl.it gives you, too, and with 200,000 weekly active developers on the platform already, there is clearly a demand for this service.

 

Repl.it  already supports virtually every programming language you can think of, no matter whether that’s JavaScript, Python, PHP or QBasic, as well as popular frameworks like Django, Ruby on Rails and Sinatra. And if you want to hurt yourself and write in Brainfuck, you can do that, too.

Raspberry Pi powered by Arduino: Now you can program the Pi using Arduino Sketches

Raspberry Pi powered by Arduino: Now you can program the Pi using Arduino Sketches | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

The new feature will allow Pi owners to write Arduino Sketches to interact with sensors, motors, electronic boards and other hardware attached to the Pi's GPIO pins.

Arduino Sketches can now be used to program the Raspberry Pi, marking a moving together of two of the biggest maker platforms.
The cloud-based Arduino Create platform is designed to simplify the creation of Internet of Things applications.
Want to use the $35 Raspberry Pi computer to build your own hardware but only ever used Arduino boards? Well you're in luck.

If you know how to write programs to control hardware using Arduino boards you can now use the same language to control hardware attached to the Pi, the co-founder of the Arduino Project Massimo Banzi announced yesterday.

Banzi revealed a new feature in the cloud-based Arduino Create service that will compile Arduino Sketches — programs typically used to interact with Arduino boards and attached hardware — into a form that can be run on a Raspberry Pi.

The feature will allow Pi owners to write Arduino Sketches to interact with sensors, motors, electronic boards and other hardware attached to the Pi's GPIO pins.

"The idea is there's a tonne of people that know how to use Arduino and they can take their knowledge and apply it to this," Banzi told the Embedded Linux Conference 2018 in Portland in the US.

Arduino Blog » You can now use Arduino to program Linux IoT devices | #Coding #Maker #MakerED #MakerSpaces #PracTICE #LEARNingByDoing  | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

Today, at Embedded Linux Conference 2018, Arduino announced the expansion of the number of architectures supported by its Arduino Create platform for the development of IoT applications. With this new release, Arduino Create users can manage and program a wide range of popular Linux® single-board computers like the AAEON® UP² board, Raspberry Pi® and BeagleBone® as if they were regular Arduino boards. Multiple Arduino programs can run simultaneously on a Linux-based board and interact and communicate with each other, leveraging the capabilities provided by the new Arduino Connector. Moreover, IoT devices can be managed and updated remotely, independently from where they are located.

To further simplify the user journey, Arduino has also developed a novel out-of-the-box experience for Raspberry Pi and BeagleBone boards, in addition to Intel®  SBCs, which enables anyone to set up a new device from scratch via the cloud without any previous knowledge by following an intuitive web-based wizard. Arduino plans to continue enriching and expanding the set of features of Arduino Create in the coming months.

javl/image2cpp | image2cpp is a simple tool to change images into byte arrays to use with (monochrome) displays suchs as OLEDs | #Coding #Arduino #Maker #MakerED #MakerSpaces | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

image2cpp is a simple tool to change images into byte arrays to use with (monochrome) displays suchs as OLEDs, like those from Adafruit or Sparkfun.

 

While searching for a way to generate these arrays, I mostly found links to a piece of Windows software. Both the flakey results and the hassle of having to boot a virtual machine just to convert an image lead to me writing this pure html + javascript solution.

Alternatively you can also enter a byte array as input to turn it back into an image. This might be useful for debugging, or when you want to write the byte array yourself. I don't know.

Running the tool

You don't need any special dependencies / internet connection; all the necessary parts sit in a single .html file. So just open this index.html page in a (recent) browser to run the tool.

 

Or you can use the online version at:

Visual Programming | Visuino Arduino tutorials - YouTube | #VideoTutorials #Coding #Maker #MakerED #MakerSpaces #PracTICE 

In computing, a visual programming language (VPL) is any programming language that lets users create programs by manipulating program elements graphically rather than by specifying them textually.[1][2] A VPL allows programming with visual expressions, spatial arrangements of text and graphic symbols, used either as elements of syntax or secondary notation.

 

For example, many VPLs (known as dataflow or diagrammatic programming)[3] are based on the idea of "boxes and arrows", where boxes or other screen objects are treated as entities, connected by arrows, lines or arcs which represent relations.

Good to know when using different Arduino boards | Arduino - Wire | #Coding #Maker #MakerED #MakerSpaces #LEARNingByDoing

Wire Library

This library allows you to communicate with I2C / TWI devices. On the Arduino boards with the R3 layout (1.0 pinout), the SDA (data line) and SCL (clock line) are on the pin headers close to the AREF pin. The Arduino Due has two I2C / TWI interfaces SDA1 and SCL1 are near to the AREF pin and the additional one is on pins 20 and 21.

As a reference the table below shows where TWI pins are located on various Arduino boards.

 

BoardI2C / TWI pinsUno, EthernetA4 (SDA), A5 (SCL)Mega256020 (SDA), 21 (SCL)Leonardo2 (SDA), 3 (SCL)Due20 (SDA), 21 (SCL), SDA1SCL1

 

As of Arduino 1.0, the library inherits from the Stream functions, making it consistent with other read/write libraries. Because of this, send() and receive() have been replaced with read() and write().

The Raspberry Pi Foundation has launched the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+, offering a faster CPU and faster wireless throughput than its predecessor, the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B.

Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ comes exactly two years after the launch of the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B and is in line with Raspberry Pi Foundation's two-year B+ 'evolution' upgrade.

In other words, the changes don't warrant calling it a Raspberry Pi 4, but there are noticeable improvements, including a faster processor, higher Wi-Fi speeds, and faster Ethernet.

This 3D Printed Arduino-Based Hexapod Robot Can Bust a Move! | #3DPrinting #Maker #MakerED #MakerSpaces #Coding #Vorpal #Creativity #3DPrinting | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

I have often mentioned the wisdom of robot maker and Make: contributor I-Wei Huang who says that you can get away with a lot in a robot creation if you make it cute, characterful, and funny. This comes across in spades with Vorpal, a 3D-printable hexapod with real character and presence. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll fall in love.

Introduction
Let’s face it, there are a a lot of different Arduino boards out there. How do you decide which one you need for your project? In this tutorial, we’ll take a look at the diverse world of Arduino boards. We’ll begin with a tabular overview of the features each board has. Then we’ll delve deeper into each board, examining the pros, cons, and example use-cases.

Arduino is an open-source electronics prototyping platform based on flexible, easy-to-use hardware and software. It’s intended for artists, designers, hobbyists, and anyone interested in creating interactive objects or environments. Or more simply, you load on some code and it can read sensors, perform actions based on inputs from buttons, control motors, and accept shields to further expand it’s capabilities. Really, you can do almost anything.

All Arduino boards have one thing in common: they are programmed through the Arduino IDE. This is the software that allows you to write and upload code. Beyond that, there can be a lot of differences. The number of inputs and outputs (how many sensors, LEDs, and buttons you can use on a single board), speed, operating voltage, and form factor are just a few of the variables. Some boards are designed to be embedded and have no programming interface (hardware) which you would need to buy separately. Some can run directly from a 3.7V battery, others need at least 5V. Check the chart on the next page to find the right Arduino for your project.

Gamasutra - Alt.Ctrl.GDC Showcase: Mark Wars | #Coding #Maker #MakerED #MakerSpaces #LEARNingByDoing #Robots

Gamasutra - Alt.Ctrl.GDC Showcase: Mark Wars | #Coding #Maker #MakerED #MakerSpaces #LEARNingByDoing #Robots | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

The 2018 Game Developer's Conference will feature an exhibition called Alt.Ctrl.GDC dedicated to games that use alternative control schemes and interactions. Gamasutra will be talking to the developers of each of the games that have been selected for the showcase. You can find all of the interviews here.

Mark Wars will have players drawing lines with markers in order to guide their ever-moving robot to a goal before their opponent can. However, as they take turns drawing lines, there is nothing stopping them from drawing a line that will mislead their opponent's robot, creating a constant sabotage between players as well.

4D Systems | 4D-Workshop-4-IDE | #Coding #Maker #MakerED #MakerSpaces 

Introducing 4D Systems' All New Workshop4 IDE Supports multiple development environments, to cater for different user requirements and skill level. Workshop4 is a comprehensive software IDE for Microsoft Windows that provides an integrated software development platform for all of the 4D family of processors and modules.

 

The IDE combines the Editor, Compiler, Linker and Downloader to develop complete 4DGL application code. All user application code is developed within the Workshop4 IDE. Workshop4 includes four development environments, for the user to choose based on application requirements or even user skill level. Designer This environment enables the user to write 4DGL code in its natural form to program the display module. ViSi - Genie An advanced environment that doesn’t require any 4DGL coding at all, it is all done automatically for you.

 

Simply lay the display out with the objects you want (similar to ViSi), set the events to drive them and the code is written for you automatically. ViSi -Genie provides the latest rapid development experience from 4D Systems. ViSi A visual programming experience that enables drag-and-drop type placement of objects to assist with 4DGL code generation and allows the user to visualise how the display will look while being developed.

 

Serial This environment is also provided to transform the display module into a slave serial display module, allowing the user to control the display from any host microcontroller or device with a serial port.
