Hey folks,
I’ve been working on a Blockly IDE which produces RobotC code for VexIQ. My main purpose is to make the powerful functionality in RobotC more accessible for my son’s beginner team. But I also thought I’d share with anyone else who’d like to use it or improve it.
Because it’s very new, it has somewhat limited functionality. In particular, there is still no support for Touch LED’s or Color sensors. But it’s a github project, so if you have some javascript skills and need those sensors I can help point you in the right direction.
It also doesn’t have any documentation yet. But it does have sample code, which should help you figure things out. Also, I’m sure there are lots of bugs still, so please have patience, and help fix the bugs if you are capable.
To use it:
- Go to https://vexiq.sandlands.org/
- Build out a program
- Hit the save button and save the file locally
- Open the saved file in the RobotC IDE
- Compile and run
