Ardublock
Intro
Ardublock - a visual programming language interface - allows elementary school kids to program Arduino. Thus, this simplicity can be translated to OSE's CEB Press Controller code so that people could reprogram their CEB as needed.
Going between Ardublock and the written code - which Ardublock allows - can help one understand the code more easily. It can produce code from graphical symbols - but its limit is that it cannot translate already written code to symbols. Anyway, it is useful if the program can be rewritten in Ardublock.
