Hi Is there documentation how to add and interface custom blocks on SNAP? We have Embedded Linux board which runs SNAP https://www.olimex.com/Products/OLinuXino/A13/A13-OLinuXino-WIFI/ and I would like to add GPIO, SPI, UART, I2C controls as SNAP building blocks. I probably will do it looking at your code, but if somewhere there is documentation and description how to create and interface custom blocks would help me a lot Thanks!

Hi TsvetsanUsunov, There is no full documentation now, but I can probably write some in the next week.

Essentially, all you need to do is 'hook up' a Python hardware control module to the Snap! base server (http://www.github.com/technoboy10/snap-server).

Hope that helps, Technoboy10

Thanks! This is what I needed :) Now I'm asking myself how I missed it before.

I've created the first documentation page on the Snap! base server repo wiki. It describes how to create a block module from start to finish. Enjoy!

If you have any other questions, please file them as issues on the snap-server repo.

Happy Snap!ping!
