Meet TinkerPy

What is TinkerPy, and the two magic blocks: setup and loop.

TinkerPy is a simple coding language for your TinkerPy board. You write instructions, press Compile, and the board follows them โ€” lights, motors, buzzers, sensors!

Two magic blocks

TinkerPy
# ===== My TinkerPy Project =====

# This code block executes only once
setup:

# This code block executes forever
loop:
Every new project starts like this.

Pins: o and i

๐Ÿ’ก Tip

Lines starting with # are comments. The board ignores them โ€” they are notes for humans.

๐Ÿš€ Your turn

Open Projects, tap Create New Project and find the setup and loop blocks.
