Block 101?

tonyd

Hi All

I am a retired software developer, used to coding c# in visual studio and just bought a M5 Stick CPlus for fun. I have a load of Arduino and Raspberry Pi boards and find them straightforward enough to code, as the toolchain is more familiar to me. I tried to put the battery %age of my stick on the display with blockly, easy right? Nope. I did not get very far. I learn best from reading. Does anyone know of a decent book that will give me an introduction to blockly?

Thanks,

Tony

Hi all, I found some documentation on the M5 site. It looks a little out of date in that not all of the functions are described, but I am off and running...

Thanks
Tony
