Scratch for Arduino Uno Q

Arduino UNO Q + Scratch = ❤️

Description

Scratch for Arduino UNO Q is an Arduino App that runs Scratch directly on the board to control physical world (e.g., LEDs, buttons, and Arduino Modulino) with optional AI model integration. Accessible from any device via a browser, it makes coding, electronics, and AI hands-on and easy to explore.

Installation and Usage

From AppLab

• Download the scratch-arduino-app-vX.Y.Z.zip from the https://github.com/dido18/scratch-arduino-app/releases
• Open the Arduino App Lab and connect to your Arduino UNO Q board.
• Go to Create new app > Import App
• Select the local .zip file
• Click on the App, and Run

NOTE: the AppLab is slow to load the app :)

From command-line

• Open the Arduino App Lab and connect to your Arduino UNO Q board.
• Clik on the button "open terminal" (button left)
• Copy and paste the following command into the terminal to install the latest scratch-arduino-app

NOTE: the script automatically set the scratch app to start by default.

curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dido18/scratch-arduino-app/main/install.sh | bash

Usage

• Open the Scratch interface at the https://<IP_OR_BOARD_NAME>:7000 address.

NOTE: the https is needed by the getUserMedia() method for security reason.
