At my previous post, I have presented the willing of Erle Robotics of programming APM based vehicles using blocks.
Notice that the official name of this tool has changed to Robot Blockly, in order to meet OSRF naming criterium.
Today I want to show a small example of how this new tool can move an APM based Rover. In this example, I have used a block that controls the direction and throttle of the rover. This block has overwrite the output channel 1 and 3, using a MAVROS service.
This new functionality comes integrated in our latest product, Erle-Brain 2. You could find it in the image called "blanco", which is based on Debian Jessie.

I would respectively like to point you to the rich heritage of the Logo programming language. ROS blocks that uses Logo commands would be ideal. Logo is well thought out, and has a rich heritage. It is also used in MatrixPilot for an alternative flight control language than just using waypoints.
