blokdots 3.0: No-code hardware prototyping platform adds standalone mode and C++ export
By
Olivier Brückner
The kind of bagel you'd toss to the pigeons.
Summary
blokdots 3.0 is a major update to a no-code platform for interactive hardware prototyping. The update replaces Firmata with a custom lightweight C++ framework and serial protocol, enabling standalone mode (run projects without a laptop), C++ code export, output triggers, and multi-I2C support. The tool is designed to remove technical barriers for creative hardware exploration and integrates with ProtoPie and Figma.
Key quotes
· 4 pulledWe replaced Firmata with our own lightweight C++ framework and serial protocol — which finally unblocks us to build the things we always wanted to build.
Standalone mode — upload your project and run it without a laptop connected
C++ code export — hand off to engineering or continue in the Arduino IDE yourself
blokdots is a no-code software to enable everyone to create interactive hardware prototypes. No technical barriers, just pure creative exploration.
