Ardublockly to-do list

Ardublockly 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

Ardublockly desktop wrapper

  • Wait for resolution and implement appData directory move fixes electron/electron#2721
  • Move Electron front end changes script from ardublockly html injection into preload script executed from Electron
  • Add menu to directly select a between 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.

Python server

  • Complete compilerserttings module unit test
  • Complete actions module unit test module
  • Check for more possible issues with unicode in Python 2
  • Experiment with the --preserve-temp-files flag to maintain temporary files and speed up CLI compilation
  • Remove tkinker file selection and implement an html version
  • The server should provide fully "headless" execution

Linux specific

  • Test load to board in Linux with Arduino 1.6 (current test in raspberry pi and ubuntu to load sketches in the IDE) with python 2
  • Comprehensive test of server with python 3
  • Current port list shows all dev/tty, as all Arduinos should be connected by USB this list can be filtered to only show ttyUSBx ports

Mac OS X specific

  • Comprehensive test of server with python 2
  • Comprehensive test of server with python 3

Windows specific

  • Comprehensive test of server with python 3

Python 3 specific

Ardublockly front end

  • Remove old IDE output text while waiting for a new verify/open/upload
  • 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
  • Add internationalisation, initially only English and Spanish

Blockly

  • Merge changes from upstream to add zoom functionality
  • Modify zoom icons to be smaller and placed in top right corner
  • Modify zoom to be available without using the scroll
  • Add setup and loop functions to the custom toolbox flyout and ensure only one instance can be included in workspace
  • Arduino setup and loop block can be copy/pasted using keyboard shorcuts, stop this from happening

Blockly changes to feed upstream

  • Any useful changes to the zoom functionality

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

Arduino blocks

  • Code generator for lists into arrays
  • A lot of blocks go through the entire block tree, which end ups being inefficient. Maybe create a general pass through in the arduino.js file to check everything that needs to be checked in one pass.
  • SPI pin reservation log needs to be refactored for the new board settings
  • Create I2C communication blocks with hue 190
  • Update the serial print block to specify explicit type (hex, str, int, etc)
  • Look into all the serial functions and decide what else might fit in
  • Allow to add return statement to the Arduino setup()/loop() functions

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
