microcontroller controlled by Scratch?

Hello everybody!

I was wondering if you could controll a microcontroller with Scratch... Is it possible?

Thanks, Purika

Re: microcontroller controlled by Scratch?

The Lego WeDo can be programmed with Scratch. The Picoboard can also function as an input device. Scratch doesn't have anything else it works with by default though.

Thanks! So there is no way to controll anything else with scratch?

Re: microcontroller controlled by Scratch?

Have you heard of something called an arduino?
That is probably the most similar thing you will get to a Micro. There is a program called "Scratch for arduino" which can be found Here

Arduino's are amazing and the program is a slightly modified version of scratch. Perhaps you could look into it  tongue
