BirdBlox

The BirdBlox app allows you to program your Hummingbird Duo, Hummingbird Bit, or micro:bit via a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) connection! The app was inspired by the Snap! and Scratch programming environments. In addition to common Scratch-type blocks for creating programs, BirdBlox adds blocks to control your Hummingbird's LEDs and motors, record and playback sounds, and to read from Hummingbird and tablet-based sensors (such as accelerometers or compasses). You can also write programs that use the micro:bit sensors and LED display!
