Launching Partnership with codebender for Grove Ecosystem and More
In celebration of the upcoming Arduino Day, we are very excited to announce partnership with codebender, an online editor of Arduino IDE for Chrome, Linux and Firefox. With codebender, you can upload, share code and even embed it on your website, blog, or tutorials. It is a great tool of social coding for open source hardware.
To celebrate it, we invite you to share picture/GIF of your Grove project with #seeedcodebender on Twitter before 4th, March(EST) to win both Seeed’ coupon($40 off for over $100 order) and one-month subscription of private account on codebender. We have rewards for 10 community users.
Bringing Grove Ecosystem to codebender
Grove is a modular and ready-to-use tool set. Just like Lego, it takes a building block approach to assemble a project in an easier way compared to breadboard and soldering. All Grove modules are compatible with Arduino language thus it is our initial tool to connect with codebender platform.
We have started to add more Grove libraries and projects on Seeed’s official page on codebender and embed it on our wiki and Recipe pages. The full list will be out in a few weeks. To have a taste, head over to Grove’s wiki and 2 Recipe projects DIY a simple humidifier and Gesture Controlled Pac Man.
