Disclaimer

The info below is not actually describing facts, but it serves to communicate the vision of the Arduino-Source-Academy project.

Principles

The Source Academy allows users with an NUS course account to program some types of Arduinos using the Source language. The programming is done as usual, using the web-based programming environment Source Academy (https://sourceacademy.nus.edu.sg). When students choose "Arduino" as the language, their programs are sent to their Arduino, instead of the Source runtime system in the Source Academy browser-frontend.

Source Academy Arduino Connections

The Source Academy provides a menu for registering Arduino connections:

  • Get new Arduino-Source-ID
  • Set Arduino-Source-ID (for multiple students to share the same Arduino and for letting a student access their Arduino from multiple devices)

Preparation

  • Get a new Arduino-Source-ID using the Source Academy
  • Upload the Arduino Source runtime system to the Arduino (we need to list available Arduino configurations, with the runtime software (image?) for download)
  • Set Arduino-Source-ID in the Arduino Source runtime system (how?)
  • Turn on Arduino to run the Arduino Source runtime system

Running your program on your Arduino

  • Choose "Arduino" as the Source language version in the Source Academy
  • Write your Source program in the Source editor
  • Press "Run" to upload the program to the Arduino and run it.
