Introduction to mBlock 5

• Understanding of the difference between block-based coding and text-based coding

First of all, we will look at the difference between block-based coding and text-based coding by making a simple device, a thermo-hygrometer, as an example. Arduino device-making process can be divided into hardware production and software production.

• Hardware: The process of connecting the Arduino board and the sensor (The simple structure of the Arduino board was learned in the basic course earlier.)

• Software: The process of creating a design for how a physically constructed circuit will operate.

A detailed production practice will take place in Project 1. Here, we will focus on the difference between block coding and text coding.
