Designed for Arrowhead Tools Project (https://www.arrowhead.eu/arrowheadtools), Studio4Education is a web-based visual programming editor for ST microelectronics boards, thanks to Blockly, the web-based, graphical programming editor.
Studio4Education provides static type language blocks and code generators for simple C programming.
- Programming with visually drag and drop code blocks
- Generate fully compatible code
- Multiple boards choice for automatic selection of pin functions
- Load different on-site examples with url parameters
- Keyboard navigation and accessibility helpers
- Theme choice
- Block render choice
- Multi language
- Keyboard navigation
- etc
You can enter accessibility mode by hitting Shift + Ctrl + k.

Key mapping is customizable by activating 'open key mappings' option.
Some basic commands for moving around are below.
- W: Previous block/field/input at the same level.
- A: Up one level (Field (or input) -> Block -> Input (or field) -> Block -> Stack -> Workspace).
- S: Next block/field/input at the same level.
- D: Down one level (Workspace -> Stack -> Block -> Input (or field) -> Block -> Field (or input)).
- T: Will open the toolbox. Once in there you can moving around using the WASD keys. And insert a block by hitting Enter.
- X: While on a connection hit X to disconnect the block after the cursor.
The cursor controls how the user navigates the blocks, inputs, fields and connections on a workspace. Two different cursors:
- Default Cursor: Allow the user to go to the previous, next, in or out location.
- Basic Cursor: Using the pre order traversal allows the user to go to the next and previous location.
Studio4Education is a web tool. You can give it a try at Web version.
If you want to install it locally. Get code from github and open index.html in your browser.
An Electron version with arduino-cli embbeded for an off-line version is also available: https://github.com/A-S-T-U-C-E/S4E_Electron
- Open browser to Studio4Education folder and select your board, your language, your favorite theme + renderer.
- Drag and drop blocks to make a program.
- Copy all of the source code into an existing or new project in the Arduino IDE with STM32Duino installed
- Configure your Arduino IDE with the right board and communication port.
- Press the 'Upload' button in the Arduino IDE to burn the code into a connected board.

The Studio4Education project is also inspired by Blockly@rduino, ardublockly (great thanks to Carlos Pereira Atencio @carlosperate for this great automatic typing variable script) and Blocklino.
