A lightweight ArduBlock fork with various updates including blocks for the CAROBOT SwissCHEESE board.
The project is managed by Apache Maven. For installation instructions, see https://maven.apache.org/install.html.
ArduBlock and all its forks are dependent on openblocks. Thus, you must run install_openblocks.sh.
After checking out the source for the first time, one should run the following to install Arduino's pde.jar into the local repository:
$ mvn validate
Change the /src/main/resources/com/ardublock/block/ardublock.xml to add new blocks to CarduBlock.
To package CarduBlock EDU to a .jar file, run:
$ mvn clean package
For use in the Arduino IDE, copy the target/cardublock_edu-all.jar to Arduino/tools/CardublockTool/tool.
If we run:
$ mvn compile exec:java -Dexec.mainClass="com.ardublock.Main"
The Visual Block environment should show up. Happy Hacking! ;)
ArduBlock is a Block Programming Language for Arduino. The language and functions model closely to Arduino Language Reference

- Integrate the scripting engine into the language blocks for code generation
- Make sure you have Java 9.0.4 and add it to the path as %JAVA_HOME%
- Pull the Cardublock and openblocks from the Carobot github and store it in documents for convinience purposes
- Install eclipse IDE and maven.
- Add Maven to your path and make sure you can access and use it.
- cd into the cardublock folder and run these commands i. mvn validate ii. mvn clean iii. mvn eclipse:clean iv. mvn eclipse:eclipse
- after this open the project in eclipse.
- make sure that the jdk is selected in the project properties for compilation (you may need to google where to find this)
- Next cd into the open blocks folder
- Run mvn clean and then mvn install
- You should now be ready for compilation
