MBlock for Sparki on Mac?

We’ve had our Sparki for a while, but due to us only having Mac computers in our house, my daughter hasn’t been able to get the full coding experience with the bot.

I’ve attempted the workarounds posted in other threads with no luck. I did notice that the new Makebots are VERY similar to our dear Sparki, AND they have MBlock, which runs on MAC. Finally!!!

Has anyone attempted to use this with Sparki? We’re very much beginners in this coding realm (why we got Sparki in the first place), so any info or thoughts are welcome.

Thanks!

MBlock is software specific to their robot, but we are adding Ardublock to our next revision of SparkiDuino (which will as always be OSX compatible). We’ve been trialing it with a few university partners with great success. You can check it out here:

I love the new Ardublock functionality. However, I cannot figure out how to control the LCD display with it. Does anyone know?

Any luck programming the arduino to display on a LCD?
