What it's about
BlocklyProp Solo is a visual online programming tool. It works with robots and development boards that have a Propeller 1 Multicore Microcontroller brain, such as the ActivityBot 360° and Propeller FLiP module.
BlocklyProp lets you build Propeller programs graphically, piece by piece. Specialized blocks support sensors, servo motors, displays, and more, making it quick and easy to learn programming for new hardware and create complex projects.
