iBlockly to-do list

iBlockly build system

  • Update the documentation build script to work on the project root directory like the other build scripts.
  • Update the py2exe Windows Build to place the executable on the projetct root directory.
  • Should the Windows build be moved to PyInstaller and keep a single build script for all platforms??
  • Add documentation build steps to the CI build servers

iBlockly desktop wrapper

  • Wait for resolution and implement appData directory move fixes electron/electron#2721
  • Move Electron front end changes script from iBlockly html injection into preload script executed from Electron
  • Add menu to directly select amongst the different Arduino boards supported
  • Executable app signing
  • Check for "built python server executable", if not found check if python is installed, if it is then run the server in a python subprocess.

iBlockly front end

  • Change delete all icon with "new"
  • Similar to Arduino IDE, select area to display button action text, and change the text with button mouse over
  • Ensure that basic empty sketch code shows on page load
  • On low resolutions ensure the blockly vertical height is lower than the viewport
  • Add tooltips to the action buttons and floating round buttons
  • Finish adding internationalisation, start with only English and Spanish

iBlockly

  • Merge changes from upstream to add zoom functionality
  • Modify zoom icons to be smaller and placed in a different position
  • Arduino setup and loop block can be copy/pasted using keyboard shorcuts, stop this from happening
  • Refactor new variable name to be able to select custom name on single action and asynchronously

iBlockly changes to submit upstream

  • Any useful changes to the zoom functionality
  • Use of window.prompt

Static typing

  • logic_ternary block getType to defines type as that of its inputs
  • logic_null block right now does not return a type, this might change
  • math_number block 'errornumber' type used for debugging, remove
  • math_arithmetic getType to check types of given inputs to decide between int or float. Right now first block within sets the type.
  • math_constrain getType to check types of given inputs to decide between int or float. Right now first block within sets the type.
  • math_number getType to use regular expressions more efficiently
  • math_on_list to add static type if lists get implemented
  • controls_for getVarType function
  • controls_forEach block uses lists, these are not implemented in the Arduino generator (possible arrays), when implemented this block needs a getVarType, varType, and getType functions
  • add getVarType to the procedures blocks
  • the loops count type is set to int, user could input a decimal, so add input checking to determine type
  • Number blocks automatically trim unnecessary decimal digits "x.0 => x", change this behavior so that "x.0" can be set as a decimal

Arduino generator

  • Text trim does not currently generate Arduino valid code
  • Second part of the generator refactory

iBlock block and Arduino board

  • Block for Internet of Thing ESP8266
  • [ ]

Future features

  • Block creator app that also used blockly to create the generator code
  • Server component of the block creator to add files into project directory folder and have client side to read them and include them into the toolbox
  • Serial console for comms with Arduino
  • Serial data graphing
  • SVG image creation to displayed used pins with given function
  • Auto updating from server for the desktop app

iBlockly block and Arduino board

  • Block for Internet of Thing ESP8266.
  • Color for toolbox help remember use block.
  • Procedures block return type.
