What it does

Aily-blockly is an AI-powered Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for developing and programming hardware devices such as Arduino, MicroPython, ESP32, STM32, RP2040, and Nrf5x

When to use it

•When you need to quickly develop and prototype hardware projects with a user-friendly interface
•When you want to leverage AI-assisted coding for hardware development to reduce errors and improve efficiency
•When you are working with multiple hardware platforms and need a unified development environment

Ready-to-paste prompt

Create a new Arduino project using the `File` > `New Project` menu and select `Arduino` as the platform, then use the visual code blocks to create a simple LED blink program

Heads up: Make sure you have Node.js (version 16 or higher) and npm installed on your system, as Aily-blockly uses these to run the development server and manage dependencies
