We have been thinking about how to make Ardublock more intuitive and adding event based control blocks seem to be the way to go. We’d like to enable new comers to Arduino to easily express the idea of “When X happens, we do Y” and have multiple of them written in clean style. We have evaluated all the event driven and multitask libraries for Arduino that we can find. Here is a summary.
QP
By Quantum Leaps
last update: 2013-06-02A lot of people seem to use
It’s an RTOS with its own IDE (QDK, QP Development Kit for arduino).
Code is very complicated, do not know what he is doing
arduino 1.0 and 00xx libraries using the two different QP
Kernel
by Evan Boldt
last update: 2013-02-07
Similar to the javascript setInterval
Metro
last update: 2009-01-19
Time-driven , but also set an interval
Arduino – softtimer
by Prampec
last update: 2012-12
Also set the interval
But he said there was no delay
Read the code a bit mean, but too much, did not see
Ebl-arduino
Event-Based Library for Arduino
last update 2011-07
Finally there is an event for the pin
Aiko
by geekscape
last update: a year ago
aiko arduino official seems to have given a long time not updated, but other fork is actually very active, such as samotage of
Also set the interval
NilRTOS
last update: 2013-02
NilRTOS is a good RTOS, but its configuration is too flexible and sophisticated , difficult to integrate
There are similar and his
NilRTOS
ChibiRTOS
FreeRTOS
SCoop
adOS
ieOS
SCoop
Easy to use Arduino libraries , and mega uno and Arduino1.x Arduino-00xx are supported, that’s you ! !
PciManager
Compiled are compiled , however, can be compiled after the change is good or not . .
PinChangeInt
This is good if people use more, but only to support Uno, mega what else do not support , and quick to die. .
Stanley Huang There is no need to understand multithreading to use these blocks and we added them because they are more intuitive when describing multiple event-actions.
i have added old version in tools of arduino …now new version is not getting added in it ..still getting old version ..kindly help…tell me the method to install new version in arduino
Dear All,
I’m quite new at using this program. Could anyone please help me how to make this test in ArduBlock? The test is to see if digital pen 4 is low ( digitalRead(4) == LOW ).
I think you might have missed the Cosa OOP platform for Arduino/AVR.
Cosa support several programming paradigms including event driven, time/delayed functions, finite state machines, proto-threads, threads, etc. There is also an UML Actor run-time. https://github.com/mikaelpatel/Cosa-UML.
I doubt if ArduBlock users understand the concept of mltithreading 🙂

Hello,
This new block, can help us, if we want to see how work a captor…
Just a question
Do you have a documentation to do new block ?
hi if any one has any pdf files on getting started with ardoplock
i wood rally apreate as i am new to programming
thanks

Is this module will be available for testing ?
Still working on that. It’s rough and we want to make sure we got the syntax and semantic right.
Hi
from where i can download the latest version for ardublock
tanks
hi, can you teach me how to add blocks in my ardublock?
i have added old version in tools of arduino …now new version is not getting added in it ..still getting old version ..kindly help…tell me the method to install new version in arduino
Could you check the tools directory. You may still have an older version there.
