Minibloq V0.7 Alpha Test Drive - Program Arduino without writing code

[David-ygtf]

Thank you for video! Thank you people who funded this project!  Thank you creator!  This will really help the dyslexia.

Nice - Thank you. I'm thinking about getting my sons into electronics and your video series will be very good for the introduction.

I noticed in the example code at 5:18 that Minibloq created code that used DELAY() which is not good programming practice because it brings everything to a halt. This is bad because what if (for example) a button was pressed? The app could miss the button press event. OOPSIE!

It would be better to use MILLIS() then look for a given amount of time as it related to MILLIS(). Then the app would not miss an event such as a button press.

Thanks Bill great video...Do you know of any tutorial for more complex sketches using minibloq ? i am seeking specifically one with multiple loops and using random seed...please any tip helps...

@bstott2002 Your welcome. I have been planning a few more videos. I will let you know when the next one is out.

very cool program, can't wait to for this program to be available :D

[BillGriggs]

@ciprianwiner I agree it is a cool program. The author is working hard to get it done. Let me know if you have a project idea for a new video.

The generated code is quite different from the Arduino IDE code tutorials I've been watching for the same operation. Loop automatically makes the blinking repeat so it's strange that minibloq generates a While code outside the Loop area. Hey but if it works I guess that's all that matters. I'm just learning code so I have to kinda throw out the windows what i learned from the Arduino tutorials regarding this. Also the documentation and UI are obsolete. I guess this program isn't supported anymore. Bummer. :-(

[BillGriggs]

I just release two more Minibloq videos and a post to my blog. Title is "Minibloq v0.8 Alpha features kickstarter ".

THX very much this is for dummy lazy nerds like myself.

[BillGriggs]

Go to my blog. The URL is in the description for the video. There is a link to the program under downloads.

[grannysvids]

How do you get into the loop, this just shows how to do the setup!

[garagegeekguy]

cool video - you realize the title isnt spelled correctly?

[donnybigboy]

Hi Bill, I registered and I cannot download the software, wants me to re register again??

[XpressDiy]

is this program available? and where can i get it? thanks

[MrBobWareham]

Can you do multi-task programs or state machine please

[yhuikyzpierjumong]

Hi paps, how can i download this latest version?

[terraria]

Haha I know the arduino programming language but I'm still getting this just to be faster :p

[genevatungate]

How do I unInstall this annoying program??

[garykilmer]

the website looks like it was made by a 12 year old even emails ya a link that dont exist. lol i can only imagine what the software is like
