THIS IS A LEGACY VERSION. PLEASE GO TO GETTING STARTED WITH BLOCKLYPROP SOLO INSTEAD.
The original BlocklyProp system is being replaced by BlocklyProp Solo, which requires no login. You will need to replace your Client utility with an updated Launcher.
Need HELP??? If you get stuck, contact Parallax Tech Support: email support@parallax.com. The BlocklyProp Solo Launcher & FAQ for Schools may also be of help.
What it’s about
The Propeller microcontroller is the tiny computer chip brain on the Activity Board, Propeller FLiP module, and Hackable Electronic Badge. It can be programmed to make decisions, turn things on and off, read sensors, and do calculations. It is what makes your inventions come to life.
BlocklyProp is a fun, graphical way to build those Propeller programs, piece by piece, using blocks. It is an adaptation of Google’s open-source Blockly tool.
If you have some experience with programming, robotics, or Blockly, that’s great! But if you don’t, do not worry, it is not required here. Either way, it’s best to go through this introduction before moving on to other BlocklyProp tutorials or projects.
