Mixly
The open-source Arduino Software (IDE) makes it easy to write code and upload it to the board. It runs on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. The environment is written in Java and based on Processing and other open-source software. This software can be used with any Arduino board. Refer to the Getting Started page for Installation instructions. When the Arduino Software (IDE) is properly installed you can go back to the Getting Started Home and choose your board from the list on the right of the page.

Import the Library
1) Begin with the Mixly projects, the first step you should import the corresponding library.
Open the Mixly 0.998 software, click Import. Shown below.
Open the Mixly 0.998 software, click Import. Shown below.
2) Unzip the library package we provided, keyestudio or KS_EasyPlug
You can download the library from the link below:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1oXmG0ywhsFf9zRqCB_0kuTaQg_xcXRG2
We take the keyestudio library as an example:
In the Mixly window, click Import, then select to import the library keyestudio.
You can also double-click to open the library keyestudio.
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1oXmG0ywhsFf9zRqCB_0kuTaQg_xcXRG2
We take the keyestudio library as an example:
In the Mixly window, click Import, then select to import the library keyestudio.
You can also double-click to open the library keyestudio.
3) If import the custom library successfully, you should see success prompt is displayed on the Mixly blocks interface.
Now, import the keyestudio library successfully.
You can use the same method to import the keyes_easy plug library.
Pay special attention to:
How to add the necessary libraries for complicated projects?
Sometimes we need to call the library when compiling the code, so how should we add the code libraries? Like IRremote.h
It is very simple. You can follow the instructions below.
To begin with, you can right-click Mixly icon to open the file location. Inside the Mixly directory, find the arduino-1.8.5 folder.
Open the arduino-1.8.5 folder, you should see the libraries folder.
Just place the library IRremote folder you need inside the arduino libraries folder. Shown below.
Next, ready to play your amazing Mixly project!

Next, we will take our EASY Plug control board as an example:
Hookup Guide
Connect the control board to your computer via a micro USB cable.

Open the Program
You can directly drag the blocks out to make it.
Go to the “Control” , drag out the setup block.
Next, go to “SerialPort” , and drag the Serial baud rate to 9600 into the setup block.
Then go to “SerialPort” again, and drag the Serial printIn (hex) to the blank area.
Finally, we add a text that want to print out. Go to “Text” and drag the text block into Serial printIn (hex) block. Change the character you want to show.
Now, the code is complete. You can save as Mixly file or directly upload to your control board and open the monitor to see the test result.
Note:
In fact, we have provided you with Mixly file, so you can directly open the file.
Click Open to open your first program Hello World. Follow the steps below.
In fact, you can double click or directly drag the program to open Hello World. Then you should see the Blocks code, shown below.
After that, select the proper Board and Port. Upload the code to your EASY Plug control board.
Go to the “Control” , drag out the setup block.
Next, go to “SerialPort” , and drag the Serial baud rate to 9600 into the setup block.

After that, select the proper Board and Port. Upload the code to your EASY Plug control board.
Displaying Hello World
Finally, upload the code successfully, open the monitor and set the baud rate to 9600, you should be able to see the Hello World is showed on the monitor.
Congrats! You make it !

In order to control an Arduino board using RoboBlockly, additional software must be installed on the computer. For Windows and MacOS machines, Barobo provides the necessary 'ChDuino' software as part of its free 'Linkbot Labs' software download, available at www.barobo.com/downloads. (For Chromebooks, an 'Arduino Controller' extension is available at the same site.)
After you have downloaded and installed the software, ChDuino should appear in your list of applications. (The “Ch” indicates that the software uses the C programming language, via the Ch interpreter, to program the Arduino.) Its icon looks like this:
When you open ChDuino, you should see a graphical user interface similar to the one shown below:
It gives a visual representation of the various pins on the Arduino board, and allows us direct control of the input and output pins on the board. You can view the analog voltage values read by the A0-A5 ports on the left side, can view digital input values, and can control the digital output values.
The next step is to connect the Arduino to the computer via a USB cable, if not already done. (See the relevant RoboBlockly lesson for the setup instructions.) Once the physical connection is made, and the ChDuino software is open, make sure that the “USB” checkbox at the top left of the ChDuino interface is checked (and Bluetooth unchecked). Then click the “Scan” button at the top left, and it will scan for a connected Arduino board. Yours should appear in the message area in the middle left, as shown in below, with a red dot next to it (it may appear without you having to click 'Scan'):
![Free Free](/uploads/1/2/9/2/129205052/818387621.jpg)
The red dot indicates that the Arduino is physically connected but not yet connected via the software. The COM port where the Arduino is connected may also be listed. (It’s possible to have multiple Arduinos connected to the same computer.)
To complete the connection click the “Connect” button at the top left. The red dot should turn to green:

In addition, fluctuating numbers should appear in the Analog pin section of the ChDuino interface, and you should see a blinking light on the Arduino. This all indicates that the Arduino is properly connected and ready for use.
Sometimes the connection will be lost, as indicated by the absence of the blinking lights on the Arduino, the static nature of the analog pin values in ChDuino, and/or the green dot turning to red. If that’s the case, simply click the “Connect” button to reconnect.
If, when you click the “Connect” button, the red dot turns to green but there’s also a message along the lines of “Check connection or update firmware,” click the message. A small window should open with a button that allows you to update the firmware on the Arduino board:

It usually only takes a few seconds, and then you’re ready to go. (Firmware is the computer code stored on the Arduino that runs the board. When new features are added, or software bugs fixed, a new version of the firmware must be uploaded and stored in the Arduino board.)
