      Thanks. I've made some progress. See https://github.com/jmoenig/Snap--Build-Your-Own-Blocks/issues/1830

    • RE: How difficult would it be to combine NetsBlox and Snap4Arduino?

      I am now wondering if using the [http://snap4arduino.org/#http](Snap4Arduino local server) might enable one to run NetsBlox in one tab and Snap4Arduino in another. A student could then program NetsBlox to send data to Snap4Arduino using the HTTP block or the like. (Packaged up in a friendly user-defined block.) Snap4Arduino could receive the data as a message and as values of variables. NetsBlox could even ask for values of Snap4Arduino variables to know what data to send.

      I tried to test the feasibility of this but ran into a problem right away. I tried localhost:42001/broadcast=MESSAGE, 127.0.0.1:42001/broadcast=MESSAGE, and 163.1.225.137:42001/broadcast=MESSAGE but couldn't get anything to work (I just got "localhost didn’t send any data.")

      After posting this I will send a link to this thread to the Snap4Arduino discussion.

      Thanks for the response.

      Your plans are interesting and promising. While I personally am OK with simulated sensors I expect that will reduce the appeal for many students and teachers relative to real hardware. But I see your point about feasibility and cost.

      This won't help in my project but see my next post.

    • How difficult would it be to combine NetsBlox and Snap4Arduino?

      In our project we would like students to combine the NetsBlox services (and other web services) with physical computing on a Raspberry Pi and/or Arduino. The ideal system would have blocks from both extensions of Snap!. Note that we are happy to use the Chromium extension to Snap4Arduino so it is completely browser-based just as NetsBlox is. For the Raspberry Pi we can run NetsBlox unaltered by adding blocks that communicate with a local web server that talks to the hardware pins. Is my guess right that combining NetsBlox and Snap4Arduino is a large undertaking?

    • RE: Can NetsBlox capture a log of user actions?

      Thanks. That is good news. Is there a way to access this database or is the idea that we should be running our own server?

    • Can NetsBlox capture a log of user actions?

      For a research project we would like to perform learning analytics on a log of user's actions. Given that actions/events can be sent to a collaborator could those events instead be saved?
