Hi everyone,

I wanted to share an Arduino physical computing extension we’ve been working on for Scratch users who want to connect real hardware to block-based coding.

Pishi.ai Scratch is a Scratch-compatible editor that includes an Arduino extension designed for education and beginner-friendly physical computing. It focuses on keeping the Scratch experience familiar while allowing students to control real boards and sensors.

What the Arduino extension supports:

* Connecting Arduino boards to Scratch-style blocks
* Reading sensors (digital and analog inputs)
* Controlling LEDs, motors, buzzers, and other outputs
* Designed for classrooms, workshops, and self-learning
* Works without requiring students to write Arduino C/C++ code

The goal is to help learners move from on-screen projects to real-world interaction using the same Scratch logic they already know.

We’ve put together a clear help page with setup steps, supported features, and examples here:
https://pishi.ai/help/arduino-physical-computing-in-scratch/

Feedback, questions, and suggestions from the Scratch community are very welcome. We’re especially interested in hearing how others approach physical computing with Scratch.

Thanks for reading!
