Snaptron

It's snap, the visual, blocks based programming language stuffed in electron to control firmata based robots via the serial port. It was inspired by Snap4Arduino and mBlock.

Snaptron's main features:

• Support for multiple connected robots. A Snap! sprite is assigned to each robot so you can control it independently.
• No need to know on which serial port the robot is. Snaptron scans all serial ports for signs of a connected robot
• Provides visual feedback of the robot connection status (connected, reconnecting, disconnected, offline)
• Automatically detects robots disconnection and makes a predetermined number of attempts to reconnect
• Automatically saves the project on exit
• Automatically loads the last opened project when application starts
