Have finally started looking at running our Hummingbird boards in Arduino mode using text and Ardublock to create the code. Pretty obvious this will extend what can be done with the kit. With Scratch you create then run the code to manipulate the input and output devices. In Arduino mode you code in text or with Ardublock then upload the code to the board. The nice thing is that when the code is uploaded the Hummingbird board does not need to be tethered to the computer like it did when we were using Scratch.
Will be trying this with the student who are in the second year of working with the Hummingbird board.
I have used text based coding but this is my first try with Ardublock. This creates a sketch that changes the motor speed as I turn the potentiometer.
I really like the way you see both block and the text based code when you use Ardublock.
