Create custom Arduino sketches quick and easy using a graphical interface.

Aimed at the beginner, although suitable for anyone who wants to quickly and easily create a practical sketch file, ready to compile/flash into their arduino boards.

This is not an 'Examples' or 'Tutorial' app. Some knowledge of electronics and microcontrollers may be required. Your hardware setup is entirely up to you. Configure Sketcher how you want your board to work.

Choose your custom settings and let Sketcher do the rest.

This was intended to be a companion app to ArduinoDroid (ArduinoDroid. https://play.google.com/store/apps/detailsid=name.antonsmirnov.android.arduinodroid2) although any IDE/compiler should work also. (Please note: this app is not a compiler!)

This app is not affiliated with either Arduino nor ArduinoDroid.

You will most likely need an android device that supports OTG (on the go) and an OTG cable when it comes to flashing your sketch.

This app takes away all the code needed to program the arduino. All you need to do is choose your desired settings and press the 'Sketch it!' button.

Build the sketch and look at the code if needed before any programming takes place.

I have not tested everything as this is not possible. If you find any bugs, or things don't seem to make sense then please let me know as my aim for this app is to be very user friendly.

Boards currently supported:
*Arduino Uno
*Arduino Nano v3
*Arduino Mega 2560
*Arduino/Genuino 101
*Arduino Leonardo
*Genuino Zero
*Arduino Due

Things to do:
*Add more input and output components such as bluetooth and temperature sensor
*Add a serial monitor maybe
*Option for more than 1 input
*Option for more than 1 output
*Create more than 1 thread (multiple non-related processes)

Still lots of work to do!

Thanks and enjoy :)
