With our recent blokdots releases we made working with integrations a lot better and we’re especially happy about our

integrations.

blokdots and ProtoPie together is total prototyping magic.

We worked for a while on this one. A lot of more extensive and minor improvements. Looking forward to what you think!

Wow, it's been a while since we talked about blokdots itself. Looks like we’ve been a little too focused on improving blokdots and forgot to tell you about all the goodies. Oopsie? Well, better late than never, so we made this little video to celebrate release 0.5 with you.

If you are new to working with Arduinos it can be hard to know which component can be plugged into which slot. blokdots’ Component Setup Wizard solves this problem by letting you choose a component and then figuring out which is the right slot to connect it to.
