What is it ?

S4A is a Scratch modification that supports simple programming of the Arduino open source hardware platform. It provides new blocks for managing sensors and actuators connected to Arduino. There is also a sensor report board similar to the PicoBoard.

It has been created to attract people to the programming world. The goal is also to provide a high level interface to Arduino programmers with functionalities such as interacting with a set of boards through user events.

What can I do with it ?

Teach kids or youngsters to program and build his own toys or inventions.

Uses:

The uses are up to your imagination, but we present some exemples that can be replicated

Who can use this?

Anyone who its interested in electronics and want to teach

What do I Need ?

Requirements:

• A board of Arduino, there are different models, the most common are arduino uno
• One computer, with Linux, Windows, or Mac
• diferent electronic components, u can buy or just take it from old toys

How to download

• Scratch for arduino software: http://seaside.citilab.eu/scratch/arduino

• Arduino: http://arduino.cc/en/Main/Software (The drivers comes with the installer)

How to install

in the arduino homepage there is a guide for install the diferent models of arduino boards and for each O.S

http://arduino.cc/en/Guide/HomePage

Examples

we provide some examples of what can be done, but as we said they are just exemples, what u can do only its limited by imagination.

Robot whit a remote controller

In this exemple we are going to explain how to build a robot made with one arduino board and two engines of continus rotation, controlled by another board with and acceleremeter, two leds and two botons

What we need?
