S3 BlocklyProp Sensor Observation Deck

Posts: 3,931
This is an S3 BlocklyProp Sensor Observation Deck - the values refresh in a loop.
The code mimics the old GUI Observation Deck by using BlocklyProp and the Terminal. It monitors the Light Sensors, Infrared Obstacle Sensors, and Line Sensors - without the coffee mug!
See - http://blockly.parallax.com/blockly/editor/blocklyc.jsp?project=12557
Below is a screen capture of the Terminal display. The values for the Line Sensors are both 1 because the S3 is sitting on a block. Note: This code uses some blocks that are not currently in the S3 block menu.
This update uses new blocks written with BlocklyProp for "other" boards - meaning the fuller menu of BlocklyProp - The Blocks were downloaded and uploaded into a new S3 project - http://blockly.parallax.com/blockly/my/projects.jsp#12576 and http://blockly.parallax.com/blockly/editor/blocklyc.jsp?project=12576
One last note - I plan on updating this further to included every sensor in the Sensor menu for the S3 - that means adding Stall, Sony Remote, Microphone, and Button. Fun stuff.
Let me know how it works on your S3!

Thanks, Publison! That is part of the reason I've been quiet here. Lots more to post and share - I will put it here and on the BlocklyProp for Microcontrollers Facebook page.
