Abstract

Aily Blockly is an open-source Internet of Things (IoT) project. AI IDE for hardware development, support Arduino, MicroPython, ESP32, STM32, RP2040, Nrf5x. aily Blockly is the Blockly IDE under aily Project. In the early stage, it provides AI-assisted programming capabilities for non-professional users. It is built using TypeScript, Arduino. Key capabilities include: Ready Out of the Box; Hardware Agnostic; Lightning Compilation. The complete source code is publicly available on GitHub under the GNU General Public License v3.0, making it a useful reference for students building an Internet of Things (IoT) mini project or final-year project.

1. Introduction

aily Blockly is the Blockly IDE under aily Project. In the early stage, it provides AI-assisted programming capabilities for non-professional users. Its long-term goal is to break the boundary between professional and non-professional development, and ultimately make natural-language programming possible.

aily Blockly is not companion software for a single piece of hardware. It is a truly general-purpose hardware development environment. It currently supports 100+ development boards/chips, includes 400+ preset libraries, and continues to expand with more hardware, libraries, and AI development capabilities. We hope it helps ideas become runnable hardware projects faster, with less interruption from configuration, progress bars, and error messages.

2. Objective

8. Viva / Review Questions

Common questions examiners ask for projects in this domain.

  1. Which microcontroller / board and sensors are used and why?
  2. How does the device send data (Wi-Fi, MQTT, HTTP, Bluetooth)?
  3. Where is the sensor data stored and visualised?
  4. How is power consumption managed?
  5. How would you secure the device and its communication?
