When I create the block *RGB NeoPixel" in the LED block section of blockly, The code blockly creates is using library name <NeoPixel.h> which I think is maybe old?. The new library from github is Adafruit_NeoPixel.h>

PS. I am a bit new but I really want to learn where in the blocky code, how the blocks are created in Blockly and how that block is programmed to create the Arduino code. If its possible just want to know how that process is done in the Blockly code. Thanks so much! My dream is to be able to understand the code better and be able to submit my own pull requests to the otto blockly open source project!

Separated from #9 as suggested by @mxochicale

I am adding some devices to OttoBlockly, in particular for the "Seeed Studio Grove Beginner Kit for Arduino", when I'm done I will send the code.

I am unable from the web app version to use the save button to save block xml files ... the open button and opening files work fine ... I'm using windows 10 and chrome Version 84.0.4147.89 (Official Build) (64-bit) ... no noticeable warnings or errors appear on the console ... even when the button is pressed ...

I created an int variable and declared it. I added the Mouth block and tried to connect the variable block to it. Instead of showing the number, the led matrix displays the name of the variable.

The variable is storing an integer value. If I use the Pixel X/Y block, I can use the value of the variable to input the X and Y coordinates.

The "S" in the attached image is Otto scrolling the word CLAPS

I installed the new version of Otto Blockly 1.3.0 (OttoBlockly-Setup-1.3.0.exe) but I encountered some bugs:

• When I click on New, the workspace is only partially cleared.
• When you change the device on the USB port, the port number does not change.
• When you drag the Loop block, some elements detach, so you can neither delete nor reconnect them to the original block.

In all cases it is necessary to leave Otto Blockly and re-enter.

Is it possible to connect OttoBlockly to my Otto Humanoid via bluetooth instead of a USB cable?

These blocks are not available anymore. They have been replaced with the Setup loop. The examples need to be updated.

failed to download repository

I want to update the otto blocky to add more block with other sensors. My question is simple, because when i download the source code and execute the index.html the blocks of the code don´t appear. The code to show the blocks are the toolboxs folder, but this code i need to know hot to show.

Please let me know thanks

Blocks that allows to read the analog input of this components

To identify what button is pressing or holding.

@BodoMinea do you also experience that switching between languages, that sometimes does not work immediately? like is necessary to refresh (F5) or even restart the app and therefore deletes all current blocks? maybe we need something more instant or automatically for general users, just a thought.

Similar situation with the setting (Language & Blocks menu) the level sometimes get mixed or showing the categories of other levels instead?

Originally posted by @cparrapa in #7 (comment)

In setup, there is currently options for user experience and available blocks.

I think it would be great if there was a section where you list your Otto's capabilities, and that either hides the blocks you can't use, or marks them as unsuitable. Capabilities would include all the variants and common optional hardware - arms, neopixel, distance sensor etc.

As an added advantage, workshop leaders could encourage participants to fill this list in themselves, leading to a more structured exploration of the robot by the user.

Make blocks with basic geometrical shapes like squares, triangle, circles, polygons etc that can make easy the process to draw paths with a robot with 2 wheels like Turtle https://create.arduino.cc/projecthub/mircemk/arduino-drawing-robot-open-source-turtle-robot-dd1878

is an actual continuation of the issue #2 but specifically for the new Arduino Nano Every https://store.arduino.cc/nano-every-pack

i get to the point that i add the definitions in the boards.txt but i still get error when compiling

Any clues @BodoMinea ?

The current process of pressing Check, then closing the popup, then pressing Upload, then closing the popup is very annoying when you are making lots of edits.

It would be great if pressing it would do both the check code and upload and then close the popup.
The check code button should remain for users to check without uploading.

This change would match the Arduino IDE user interface.

How to create animations like this tool but inside Blockly?
https://xantorohara.github.io/led-matrix-editor/

Hi , My robotic kit use an arduino Leonardo board compatible and i have been creating my own enviroment in Blockly. You can see here. I have added a lot of sensors, actuator, cameras,...

the project in github here

Now I am going to start with otto, and probably migrate your otto blocks to my tool, but in my opinion would be interesting add a camera as Mu Vison to otto by I2C port. Maybe in the next months, i can do it and share here. The camera is easy to integrate using the library and some vision applicaton are available and give to otto an important plus.
Another camera to work is this: https://www.dfrobot.com/product-1922.html maybe more interesting and with panel to see.

I let you know, if at the end add this feature. I am not expert in JavaScript and i would like to create in my tool the option to change the arduino board because the most of blocks are compatible in different pins. Now for otto i will use the nano board.

Thanks

Create a blocks to enable encoder interactions https://playground.arduino.cc/Main/RotaryEncoders/

We have already a block for OLED bitmaps how to make it animations like this video?
https://youtu.be/0KGMFhFQ0YY

Ok, what I am trying to do is make Cylon eyes for my new robot. This is my first time here so be easy on me if I come off like a newbie.

I can get the blocks to work somewhat in Otto Blockly. But the problem is two-fold. I may not understand how the blocks should be stacked or used? The second problem is in understanding what parts of the code it writes are available for me to use.
I can get the lights to work in the Arduino code. I just watched a video on how to add // these marks to the code to disable it.
Here is something close to what I am shooting for.
I also tried to add this code to a blocky in otto blockly that says add code here. It just went blank.
I Love blockly and would greatly appreciate any help here. I am not a programmer I am a designer

Sorry if this is already addressed in some update, I couldn't find one through easy means - automatic update / GitHub.

On the local build of OttoDIY Blockly, obtained through the official website, which is definitely based on this, it is apparently not possible to compile and upload code suited for the new Arduino Nano variants which come with the OptiBoot bootloader. This requires higher code upload speed (BAUD 115200).

This also seems to be causing problems for other people on the forum:

• https://wikifactory.com/+OttoDIY/forum/thread/MjQ4MDUw
• https://wikifactory.com/+OttoDIY/forum/thread/Mjk1Nzg0

My now open Pull Request #1 aims to solve this problem.

I am attempting to combine together OttoDIYESP(LIB) and Elk (a tiny embedded JavaScript engine that implements a small, but usable subset of ES6,) resulting in a JavaScript-able OttoDIY envirnoment. My work is being done for the esp8266 platform because of the arduino nano ram limits ... and would like to use this project as part of the web interface ...

I would like to add javascript code view and output to this blockly project.

I have only glanced over this code ... but I know in the regular blockly javascript (ES5) there is supported so I am hoping anyone who is familiar with this code might be able to point me in the right direction ... using the javascript generators from the regular blockly won't work or would need to be changed to support the limited subset of the Elk javascript interpreter ... so staring from scratch would probably be best ... in my work the OttoDIY API is exposed almost exactly like the C++ Arduino environment within the javascript environment

any blockly guru's want to help me workout the generator stuff within this project ???

my work will start to appear here over the next week ... https://github.com/sfranzyshen/OttoDIY_Elk

I've downloaded the mac version. If I unzip it with the default unarchiver in MacOS it doesn't allow me to run the app. If I unzip with "The Unarchiver" I can start the program, get the expected security stuff. After I allow the app to open the app crashes immediately.
Tried on two different macs.

It has been reported many users get similar messages that miss think the software as dangerous

it - seems not to be a specific signature but the kind of dropping files

You can restore the files from quarantine (after this, they will be ignored from Bitdefender) and got the software running.
But is quite annoying and scary for some people.

I'm just checking out the latest version of Otto Blockly 'Otto Nuevo' and I was having difficulty updating text in the OLED. I used the 'clear OLED' block to wipe the screen before applying the new text, but I'm finding this wasn't working.

To send a command to make some text on the OLED such as 'hi there' there are 2 lines of Arduino code;
display.println("hi there");
display.display();

The arduino code currently called by the 'clear OLED' block is: display.clearDisplay();
but it doesn't work. So when I add a second line 'display.display();' it now works

So the code to clear the display is;

display.clearDisplay();
display.display();

and this works

In addition there is an initialization block for the OLED, and the corresponding block has the code;

display.begin(SSD1306_SWITCHCAPVCC, 0x3C);
display.clearDisplay();

I understand this should also be modified to add 'display.display();' so it becomes;
;
display.begin(SSD1306_SWITCHCAPVCC, 0x3C);
display.clearDisplay();
display.display();

I am using arduino Leonardo but I noticed the block is the same on other boards also

Hi @BodoMinea

Other challenge is the serial monitor.

It seems now is not really working, i do not know what is missing too, actually i would like just something simple to test sensors input easy for kids. We can even simplify and i can create the necessary remaining blocks

Thanks!

Hola, chicos. Como ya sabéis alguno, estoy trabajando en mi propio proyecto, MasayloBlockly, y he aprendido mucho estudiando este trabajo.

Even after I select beginner then click accept and then back into this menu log, it still shows advance.

Create a block that can move any servo independently to a determined angle and be able to control the speed in a smooth way.

@brendonhatcher suggestion to Mac and Linux users:

Use Arduino Nano 33 IOT Module (same pins, still fits the project board) in order to use WebUSB with a web version of Blockly making it compatible with all platforms.

At the moment if you need to download the latest installer version you have to click / go through these three links

--> https://www.ottodiy.com/#blockly
--> https://uploads.strikinglycdn.com/files/6c9116e7-80ff-4288-917b-831c4b8d01d5/Otto%20Blockly%20download.pdf
--> link from drive

My porposal is to host the releases on github (in the releases section), in this way people would easily see the version they are installing and the link would be easily tracked and shared (other than Google Drive)

I would like to know whether the Italian translation is in progress, otherwise I could start working on it.

In either the web or electron version no matter what python board selected ... neither the code view or code save result in python code being generated ...

English:

French:

The icons should remain the same. Any idea why this is happening?

So I have been trying really hard to build from my Windows computer using electron, the Mac and linux versions, unfortunately the application that is generated doesn't open or is just white.

My dream will be to make it also for raspberry pi so that we could make everything with opensource hardware!

There must be a way since electron.is is supposed to be a multi platform development environment for almost all OS.

Alternatively we could "just " find a way to make the arduino uploader work for this online app, for chrome books used in schools this will be amazing. Before in other blockly arduino repos, online uploading was working with codebender.cc but it seems is no longer available or more of a private project not sure. Maybe we could upload via Bluetooth using .hex files will be even easier than USB drivers ?

I don't know, just brainstorming @BodoMinea 😄 putting in common the major challenge to make this software really available to anyone.

You have solve the other issues, so fast, impressive👏so happy to have your support, thanks a lot from all the community, I am pretty sure they are happy too.

Have a good weekend.

Hi. On the idea that all blocks run, even if not connected to a trigger... Our intent in using Blockly is to teach computational thinking. As such, the output behaviour of the system should be consistent with standard coding practices, otherwise we allow / encourage / reinforce poor thinking and practice. I think it is essential that disconnected blocks do NOT run. If we want to make it easier for our users, it would be better if the “check the code” button (and its runtime during “upload to robot”) post a message saying “You have one or more unconnected blocks. These cannot run. Either connect the block, or right click and disable it”.

Add same blocks used in escornabot but in generic functions https://github.com/agomezgar/masayloBlockly/blob/master/www/blocs%26generateurs/escornabot.js

Realizando pruebas en la versión online de blocky, me encontré que la función por defecto del sensor ultrasónico me devuelve valores como si no encontrará la función específica, caso contrario generando el objeto y especificandole en que pines de encuentra el sensor de forma manual la lectura es totalmente correcta, he estado revisando las librerías de Otto que me arrojan dependencia pero no logro encontrar donde se ejecuta el cálculo exactamente.

I think it would be very helpful to figure out a block or make a block that you can copy and paste the Arduino code into that will work alongside the other blocks in blockly. Imagine how powerful this will make Otto blockly not only can you run code but you can add blocks to the code that was used for an example in Ardunio. Here would be a small example. You want your project to use the blockly servos, the blockly loops, timing, led mouth, and leg calibration. Now you also want to add some OLEDs and new pixels from a code somebody else wrote on Github or youtube. If all you had to do was paste that code into the program using a block and it would automatically write into the code that is there from the blocks you used

OttoBlockly doesn't need a proper installation, so I suggest releasing a zipped version as well.
Normally I unzip the .exe file with 7zip and copy only the files contained in app-32.7z.

The Humanoid examples in 1.4.0 don't work - big block of red error text. It is only the blocks for arms that don't work. Code is

Hi all,

As suggested in the readme, I downloaded the latest version of otto blocky and installed OttoBlockly-Setup-1.2.0.exe and also tried OttoBlockly-1.2.0.exe in a windowsX64 machine. However none of them recognise the USB device. So I am trying to execute SETUP.exe downloaded from the suggested path: pilotes/_CH341 which results in the following installation failure:

I might be missing something. I am wondering if you any recommendations?

Create blocks to drive common TT and N20 DC motors, related to popular drivers for Arduino for speed, direction and so on.

When I press the = button to zoom to fit, the workspace zooms to alomst the right size, but part of the blocks are still off-screen

Hi @BodoMinea

It seems you are much better at code than me so i am just gonna put some challenges as issues, that i faced while developing this to solve, if you maybe know the solution or at least the way to do it, it will be greatly appreciated:

It seems the auto update is still linked to the forked project and is creating some confusion in users, i tried by changing name inside the packgage.json but i must be missing something because it was bad built. It must be connected to having links in other files.

Thanks!

Dear @cparrapa et al.

Related to #38, one potential solution might be the use of the web version of Otto blockly by running a python arduino_web_server. That said, I made a PR#116 adding few instructions on the use of BlocklyDuino in Ubuntu 18.04x64. Then, it is just came to my mind the idea of trying such similar approach as shown below

However, I am a bit stuck here when trying to related the upload functions of both blocklyduino/index.html and /www/index.html:
https://github.com/BlocklyDuino/BlocklyDuino/blob/gh-pages/blockly/apps/blocklyduino/index.html#L300

              <button type="button" onclick="uploadClick()">Upload</button>

https://github.com/OttoDIY/blockly/blob/master/www/index.html#L131

		<button id="btn_flash" class='btn btn-arduino' data-toggle="modal" data-target="#message">
			<span class="fa fa-arrow-right fa-1_5x fa-fw"> </span>
		</button>

What do you think? Any ideas?

update the block factory code to the newer blocklino 1.8 version ...

this is a continuation of the discussion brought up from the previous issue

#40 save doesn't work on the Online Web App
