is there anyway to do this? I'm not very good at Arduino C, so this would help!

I've been working on a project that could do this for a while, but it's nowhere near ready for release.

I can help; I know JavaScript and React (I don't like TypeScript ;-, so if you want help, I'm always available!

It's written in Python, the base functionality is almost finished and Arduino shouldn't take much longer to add. I'll let you know when its finished

Pictoblox lets you program the Arduino Uno with scratch blocks, it also lets you see what the code would look like in javascript (and lets you edit it there too) which I guess could help learning C++ for arduino

pixtoblox does not work on linux, unfortunatly.

what about microsoft makecode? it's web based. https://maker.makecode.com/boards/arduino

Doesn't seem to support UNO

CodeSkool is a web based IDE, works on any platform, no installation for code generation, they have Linux based tool chain also for compilation and uploading.

oh, oops

In theory, you should be able to send commands from an Arduino connected to your computer to Scratch, but not vice versa. This would require quite a bit of code, though. How: Scratch recognizes keypresses, so what you would need to do is download the Arduino library for a keyboard. You would then be able to simulate keypresses through the Arduino Uno.

you could also just use the web serial API to expose the serial connection to scratch…

Not sure that works on all browsers or devices, they created scratch link so there was a solution that only required the browser to support websocket, which is much more common then the serial API.
