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! 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.
Snap4Arduino requiere boards with Firmata firmware installed. Check devices section.
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.
Install Snap4Arduino connector and then, just play Snap4Arduino online (you can install it as an app from the browser to run it offline).
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).
Play online
Plugin for Chromebooks (chrome web store)
Chrome/Chromium/Edge plugin (download extension)
Last Snap4Arduino version is 10.3.6 (released on 08/01/2025) and its Snap4Arduino connector version (chrome extension)is 8.0
You can also find older releases and unmaintained versions
Snap4Arduino requires boards with Firmata firmware uploaded.
You can upload Firmata firmwares direcly from Snap4Arduino (with both desktop and online versions) to UNOs compatible boards. Or just here:
A lot of devices support Standard Firmata. Tested on Nano, Mega, Leonardo and Micro.
Many 32 bit devices support Firmata. Tested on Due, 101, ESP8266 and NodeMCU.
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
InstallShield 3 is a classic piece of software history, primarily used during the Windows 95 era to create 32-bit installers
InstallShield 3’s 32-bit generic installer is on 64-bit Windows 10/11 due to its 16-bit launcher and legacy compression. However, you can:
Confirm the presence of the original _setup.exe or setup.exe file, which you will be replacing. Step 3: Replace with the 32-Bit Engine
: Many legacy graphic engines fail if the desktop environment uses 32-bit color depth. Check the "Reduced color mode" box under compatibility settings and set it to 8-bit (256 colors) or 16-bit color.
Double-clicking the original setup.exe yields errors like "Unsupported 16-Bit Application" or complete silence in the task manager.
Copy the downloaded 32-bit generic setup.exe into the folder. Step 4: Execute and Configure Compatibility
: The setup engine needs to create temporary files. If you are trying to install from a CD-ROM, copy all files to a temporary folder on your hard drive first.
