Wonderful app to control Finch or Hummingbird

This app lets you control the Finch or the Hummingbirdbit and Hummingbird Duo with a Bluetooth adapter.
I use it with students and with my own projects. It’ll feel familiar to students who know Scratch or Snap.
With one tap of the code you can see it work. It is wonderful for rapid prototyping and for easy coding of robots.
