The Blocktinu App for Windows version 1.2.1 is out

We have just deployed new version of the Blocktinu Windows application.

It is available for download from BLOCKTINU.com/downloads website.

WHAT’S NEW?

Besides some visual changes, there is a new button to upload some testing code to your Tinusaur Board with an EDUx4IO Shield. That is very convenient for testing if the board was assembled correctly even before you start writing some code.

This is the first draft of the guide how to setup the Blocktinu Tools under Windows.

The file in PDF format is available at this location: Blocktinu Tools – Windows Setup (slides).pdf

Please, download it and take a look. If you feel that there’s missing something or wrong, please, let us know.

When we update the files we will commit changes in this repository: https://bitbucket.org/tinusaur/shie…

BLOCKTINU – The Development Environment for the Tinusaur – ATtiny85 Microcontroller Board

The Blocktinu is the development environment for your Tinusaur microcontroller boards where you could use blocks to produce real C programming language source code. As you move your blocks (on the left) to implement your algorithms, the source code (on the right) will be automatically updated. Pretty neat, huh? Now you can start learning the C programming language by playing with the blocks and…

Introducing the BLOCKTINU – programming with blocks for the Tinusaur and ATtiny85

Dragging and dropping blocks on a web page that generates real C code which gets compiled on the cloud and then uploaded locally to your microcontroller. Does that sound interesting to you? Well, we’ve done it. Kind of. We called it Blocktinu. A couple of weeks ago me (Neven Boyanov) and my friend Geroge (Georgi Marinov) participated in the #BG10xEU hackathon in Sofia and the idea that we…
