3.Getting Started with Mixly
1) Introduction for Mixly
Mixly is a free open-source graphical Arduino programming software, based on Google’s Blockly
graphical programming framework, and developed by Mixly Team@ BNU.
It is a free open-source graphical programming tool for creative electronic development; a complete
support ecosystem for creative e-education; a stage for maker educators to realize their dreams.
Although there is an Ardublock graphical programming software launched by Arduino official, Ardublock
is not perfect enough, and many common functions cannot be realized.
2) Interface Functions of Mixly
2.1. System Functions
Look at the main interface of Mixly, it includes five parts, that is, Blocks selection, code edit, text code
(hidden), system function and message prompt area. Shown below.
