Math Libraries for Blockly

Post by manwe »

It would be very nice to have some mathematical calculations in Blockly.

This is used in lots of other Blockly Examples but just outside of Domoticz
https://developers.google.com/blockly/
https://blockly-demo.appspot.com/static ... index.html
https://blockly-games.appspot.com/

For the beginning I wouldn't need some very complex Calculations but even easy stuff like "Increase User Variable", "Check for Temperature + x", "Multiply Numbers to convert units" would be very useful ;)

I second that. Would be great for my "intelligent dimmer", which is controlled by the value of a user variable.
Example:
0 = off
1 = 25%
2 = 50%
3 = 75%
4 = full
A motion sensor would set the variable to 4, and start a timer.
Timer runs out: decrement variable and restart timer.
Variable reaches 0: dimmer to off, and cancel timer.

Can't wait for this - going to use it to compare the current energy usage with that from 5 minutes ago, and notify me if something has stopped using energy (such as the dishwasher) 8-)

Hi,

is there any news on this topic? I would also highly appreciate basic math blocks.

Did this suggestion get dropped, or are there any kind of progress on this?
Even basic math like addition and subtraction would help a lot.

I don't think there is much development in the Blockly side of things. Math functions would make life a little easier, for sure.
