				HOW TO CREATE A NEW BLOCK
				-------------------------
Files to change
--------------------
1- "ardublock.xml" 				in 		src/main/resources/com/ardublock/block
	contains a description of the GUI module
	contains its location in a menu
2- "ardublock.properties"		in 		src/main/resources/com/ardublock/block
	contains the definition text to display in the GUI
3- "ardublock_fr.properties"	in 		src/main/resources/com/ardublock/block
	contains the definition text to display in the GUI in French
4- "TranslatorBlockFactory"		in 		src/main/java/com/ardublock/translator/block
	to associate the code to generate with the GUI module
	
Files to create
----------------
1- create a class in a java file in		src/main/java/com/ardublock/translator/block
	creates the code to be generated for the module
	
	===================================================================================

		Changes and ADDS in A FILE
		-----------------------------------------------

	1- ardublock.xml
	----------------
a) add a "BlockGenus"
	with "name" used to identify the block, used in the filer "TranslatorBlockFactory"
	with "kind" which defines the type of GUI
	with "initlabel" which sets the text to display in the module
	then put a "BlockConnector" for setting the I/O of the module
	then put a reference to a picture, if necessary
	
	
  	
    
      		
    
	
	 
    
      com/ardublock/block/champodc/DFR0009-100x100.jpg
    
  	
	
	
b) place the created module in a menu

		
		.....
	df_lcd_keypad
		
		
c) or create a new menu if necessary

add in ardublock.xml
------------------
	
    
    
  	

and lower 

	
          df_lcd_keypad
      


 in ardublock.properties
 -------------------------
 
 	bd.champo=CHAMPOL
 	
 in TranslatorBlockFactory
 ---------------------------
 
 	//CHAMPOL
 	if (blockName.equals .....
 	
 	2- ardublock.properties
 	-----------------------
 as for the menu, add
 
bg.df_lcd_keypad=DFRobot LCD Keypad
and any other useful definitions

	3- ardublock_fr.properties
	--------------------------
put the French translation if necessary

 	
 		CREATING A FILE
 		---------------------
 We need to create the class corresponding to new module
 in src/main/java/com/ardublock/translator/block 
 or in src/main/java/com/ardublock/translator/block/champol
 or ...
 
 make new>class
 give a name for the class
 and buil it.
 
 see other class definitions

 below is an example for the LCD Display
 
import com.ardublock.translator.Translator;
import com.ardublock.translator.block.exception.SocketNullException;
import com.ardublock.translator.block.LCDKeypad; // if reference to another class
import com.ardublock.translator.block.TranslatorBlock;

public class DfrobotLCDKeypadBlock extends TranslatorBlock //LCDKeypad if reference to the class LCDkeypad
{
	public DfrobotLCDKeypadBlock(Long blockId, Translator translator)
	{
		super(blockId, translator);
	}

	@Override
	public String toCode() throws SocketNullException
	{
		// to define include and global var, see below
		setupWireEnvironment(translator); 
		// recovery module parameters, here the message placed in row 0
		// So we write the code to generate
		TranslatorBlock translatorBlock = this.getRequiredTranslatorBlockAtSocket(0, "lcd.print( ", " );\n");
		// creating the text of the code
		String ret = translatorBlock.toCode();
		return ret;
	}
	
	public static void setupWireEnvironment(Translator t)
	{
		// text for include
		t.addHeaderFile("LiquidCrystal.h");
		// setup code
		t.addDefinitionCommand("LiquidCrystal lcd(12, 11, 5, 4, 3, 2);");
	}
}
