Overview
This graphic uses the Parallax Propeller as an example of how 12Blocks supports popular
microcontrollers. 12Blocks generates a textual representation of the users graphical worksheet
and instruments it for run-time integration with 12Blocks. It then compiles the result and loads it
to the device. 12Blocks then uses a serial connection to the Propeller to monitor and change
data in the user's program as it runs. Other devices like Lego NXT, PICAXE, Arduino, and Basic
Stamp work in similar ways.
