Forscan 2.3.50 Updated Download


S4A Connector is published on September 1, 2025 with Snap!v11

There will be no Snap4Arduino 11 because Snap! v11 itself presents S4A Connector to connect directly your UNO, Nano, Mega, Leonardo, Micro, Due, 101, ESP8266, NodeMCU... (all your firmata boards) without needing a special desktop version nor any connector installed.
Run directly Snap! and open S4A Connector library or visit snap.creativelearninglab.click - S4A for more documentation, a firmata firmware uploader, templates and examples.
Snap4Arduino projects and libraries are compatible with Snap!v11. Just load "S4A Connector" library after loading your project or lib.

Last Snap4Arduino 10.3.6 was released on January 8, 2025

You still can download desktop versions or play it online
Online needs a Chromium/Chrome/Edge browser with the Snap4Arduino Connector extension (download it or install it directly on your Chromebook)

Snap4Arduino and Snap! S4A Connector

Snap4Arduino was a Snap! extension, a full Snap! implementation to interact with the physical world, through many types of electronic devices, especially those compatible with Arduino. Starting with Snap! v11, the S4A Connector library is doing this job.

Snap!

Snap! is a broadly inviting programming language for kids and adults that's also a platform for serious study of computer science. It is inspired by Scratch, written by Jens Mönig and Brian Harvey and presented by the University of California at Berkeley.


Features

  • A full Snap! implementation: blocks-based, dynamic, live, concurrent, parallel programming...
  • Connecting to any Firmata compatible board: UNO, Nano, Mega, Leonardo, MIcro, Due, 101, ESP8266, NodeMCU...
  • Web version for Chromebooks and Chromium/Chrome/Edge browsers (Snap4Arduino connector required)
  • Desktop edition for Windows, GNU/Linux and MacOSX with extra Http server features
  • You can interact with multiple boards at the same time
  • Transpiling simple scripts into Arduino sketches
  • Free software licensed under the Affero GPLv3

Installation

Snap4Arduino requiere boards with Firmata firmware installed. Check devices section.

Desktop version

Just download, unpack/unzpip and click Snap4Arduino.

Choose your system: Windows 64 (or its portable option), GNU/Linux 64, MacOSX, Windows32 (or its portable) or GNU/Linux 32.

Chromebooks

Install Snap4Arduino connector and then, just play Snap4Arduino online (you can install it as an app from the browser to run it offline).

Snap4Arduino online

Chromium/Chrome/Edge browsers are required

Download Snap4Arduino connector, unzip its crx folder, type chrome://extensions, select Developer mode and Upload an unpacked extension selecting that crx file (or just drag and drop it).

Just play Snap4Arduino online (you can install it as an app from the browser to run it offline).

Downloads

The project and all its components (including Snap!) are registered under public free software licenses (AGPLv3 and MIT), so you can download the sources and pretty much do whatever you want with them!

You can also find older releases and unmaintained versions

Supported Devices

Snap4Arduino requires boards with Firmata firmware uploaded.

UNO boards

You can upload Firmata firmwares direcly from Snap4Arduino (with both desktop and online versions) to UNOs compatible boards. Or just here:

  • Be sure you are using Chromium/Chrome/Edge browser and you are under https
  • Plug your UNO by USB
  • Choose your firmware and just upload it!
Other 8 bit boards

A lot of devices support Standard Firmata. Tested on Nano, Mega, Leonardo and Micro.

32 bit boards

Many 32 bit devices support Firmata. Tested on Due, 101, ESP8266 and NodeMCU.

Firmata uploading

Standard Firmata is directly uploadable with any Arduino IDE.

Other options are: SA5Firmata, Creative Robotix Firmata, MC Firmata Collection, Robotics-unleashed, Snap4ArduinoDev, LCD Firmata and Ultrasound Firmata
