Folks,
Recently, one of the studios at TEI 2010 conference at the MIT Media Lab introduced Scratch for Arduino (http://www.tei-conf.org/10/studios/paper131.pdf).
Does anyone know if Scratch for Arduino environment will be available soon?
My apologies if here is not the right scratch forum for that question.
Regards,
Antonio

I, too, have asked about Scratch for the Arduino. The Modkit project looks the most promising, but is still undergoing private testing. I don't know when it is supposed to be ready.
You may also find this write-up on using BYOB and Catenary to program the Arduino interesting. It is somewhat incomplete and not necessarily easy to set up, but interesting nonetheless.

This is a great idea. I was wondering when someone was going to try this. A hack I thought of would be to use the Chirp XML exporter to export to XML http://chirp.scratchr.org/xmlscripts.html
Then write a parser that converts this to C++ compatible with an AVR. That would have been a complex project though.
Modkits seems like a proper professional way to go about this. I did also see an interface to EToys somewhere as well.
This could seriously boost the popularity of the Arduino even further, because it gives a muh lower cost alternative to NXT for example.
