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

Examples

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
