Nice! :)

Feedback will be very much appreciated!

(Please note you need to install Standard Firmata into your board first)

Hey cool.

I'll try that with my board. (Arduino Uno).

Hi list!

I know people don't usually make announcements of this kind here, but I've gotten much help from this list on SerialPlugin and NativeBoost questions, so I wanted to let you know I've managed to release the pre-alpha version of Snap4Arduino.

Snap! is a Scratch reimplementation written in Javascript by Jens M��nig and Brian Harvey, with advanced programming concepts such as first order functions, closures or continuations. As Brian Harvey puts it:

In the glory days of the MIT Logo Lab, we used to say, ���Logo is Lisp disguised as BASIC.��� Now, with its first class procedures, lexical scope, and first class continuations, Snap! is Scheme disguised as Scratch.

Snap4Arduino is a modification of Snap! plus a server written in Pharo that allow you to live-program Arduino boards very easily.


I've used Zinc as a web and websockets server, and the Arduino package to achieve communication with the board.

I've decided to not wait for the MacOS CogVM serial port bugfix because I really wanted to release something before the end of November, but everything else is in place, so once the VM is fixed, it'll be just plug and release! :)

Thanks a lot for your help!
