Build programs with Scratch-style drag-and-drop blocks, watch the matching Arduino-style C++ code appear as you go, and control your robot from your phone or tablet. Designed for coding education at school, in robotics clubs and at home.

SUPPORTED BOARDS AND ROBOTS
• IoTBot (ESP32): education board with a 20x4 LCD, joystick, buttons, LDR, buzzer, relay and motor driver
• MiniBot and RoleBot (ESP8266)
• ArmBot robot arm and CarBot robot car
• DBOT Lite drone: Live Mode over Wi-Fi

FROM BLOCKS TO REAL CODE
• Blockly/Scratch-based visual editor: the C++ for every block shows up instantly in the code panel, a natural bridge from block-based to text-based coding.
• A block palette grouped by type, plus block search: LEDs, sensors, motors and servos, LCD, memory (RAM/EEPROM/Flash), Wi-Fi, robot-to-robot messaging, internet time, Telegram, e-mail, Firebase, IFTTT, weather and more.

MODES
• Live Mode: flash the core firmware once, then blocks run on the robot instantly; watch LEDs, motors and sensors live.
• Upload Mode: compile your program and write it to the board permanently so the robot runs on its own.
• Simulator: try IoTBot, MiniBot and RoleBot on screen without any hardware.
• Puppet Coding: a hardware-free start with the Scratch stage and characters.
• MicroPython: upload and run Python code on IoTBot with real MicroPython.
• Robot World: drive ArmBot and CarBot remotely over Bluetooth or Wi-Fi.

CONNECTIONS
• Connect a board with a USB-OTG cable (CP210x, CH340, FTDI; no driver needed) for Code Upload, Live Mode and MicroPython.
• Wireless Live Mode over Bluetooth (IoTBot) or the robot's own Wi-Fi network.

AI ASSISTANT
• Chat-based help with blocks, debugging and robotics questions. Requires a free CODLAI account; every reply has a "Report" button for flagging incorrect content.

FOR TEACHERS AND STEM CLASSROOMS
• 9 languages: Turkish, English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Russian, Arabic, Chinese
• Products section: front/back views of the boards and part details
• Save, open and share projects on your device
• No ads

CODLAI Editor is the next generation of the former "CODROB Editor" app. A Windows desktop version and a browser-based web version (editor.codlai.com) are also available.

Younger students should use the AI chat under parent or teacher supervision.
