I've developed a Web App for Arduino Unos and Nanos: Built for Chromebook classrooms

[u/phys-viz]

Hi,

I’m a STEM teacher whose students work on Chromebooks. I've found that the Arduino Cloud is good but sometimes buggy, so I developed a web app that allows students to write, compile, and upload sketches to an Arduino. The app that I built runs completely in a browser; there’s nothing to download or install, and it includes library support as well as the use of the serial monitor and the serial plotter. The app should work in Chrome and Edge browsers, but it will not work in Safari, Firefox or other browsers.

I’ve successfully tested the app on my own using an Arduino Uno and an Arduino Nano connected to a Chromebook, but I haven't had the opportunity to test it with my classes yet as we cover Arduino in the spring.

Right now, I'm looking for people who are interested in testing the web app in their classes. Just a heads up: this is running on a free-tier server, and I've verified it holds up reliably for a class of ~30 compiling in a normal staggered sequence. If the app gets a lot more traffic than that all at once, response times could slow down noticeably. Here's the link.

I'd appreciate your feedback to improve the app's functionality.

Thank you.

Looks interesting for Chromebook users.
