electroblocks 0.1.5

Python client library to interact with ElectroBlocks Arduino firmware

ElectroBlocks

ElectroBlocks is a Python library for communicating with Arduino-based educational hardware using a custom serial protocol. It simplifies control of servos, RGB LEDs, LCD screens, and more—especially in block-based coding environments like Blockly.

Features

• Auto-detects the first available Arduino Uno or Mega over USB
• Sends config: and control commands to the Arduino firmware
• Waits for "System:READY" and "DONE_NEXT_COMMAND" to sync logic
• Supports digital write, RGB LEDs, LCD printing, and servo control

Installation

pip install electroblocks

Example

from electroblocks import ElectroBlocks

eb = ElectroBlocks()
eb.config_servo(5)
eb.move_servo(5, 90)
eb.config_rgb(3, 5, 6)
eb.set_rgb(255, 128, 0)
eb.config_lcd()
eb.lcd_print(0, 0, "Hello")
eb.lcd_clear()
eb.digital_write(13, 1)
eb.close()
