Abstract

The possibility of teaching programming in the form of blocks represents a great benefit and is becoming very widespread nowadays. Whether we are talking about children's programming languages, Lego MINDSTORMS or even Arduino programming. It is in connection with Arduino, especially for beginners who do not have sufficient knowledge, that it is appropriate to learn programming not directly on real hardware, but e.g. using the appropriate application. This will reduce the risk of damaging the Arduino by unwanted or inadequate intervention. Such an application is Autodesk Tinkercad. In our post, we will point out the possibility of facilitating learning the meaning of the ASCII table, using a practical example.
