SuperEasy-A4S

A program to interface Scratch and Arduino

This is a program I developed to make it as simple as possible to hook an Arduino up to Scratch V2. It removes the need to use the Arduino IDE, Arduino code and command-line tools and basically requires the user to press 3 buttons in turn. The Mac version also requires the use of the Arduino IDE but the program guides you through using it. To get started simply follow these instructions.
