Let's mod #Blockly and add Custom Blocks ... For #ZigLang and #NuttX Sensors

https://github.com/lupyuen3/blockly-zig-nuttx#custom-block

Every #NuttX Sensor will have its own #Blockly Custom Block ... Let's make one for Bosch BME280 Sensor

https://github.com/lupyuen3/blockly-zig-nuttx#custom-block

Our #Blockly Custom Blocks will make it really easy to read #NuttX Sensors and transmit to #LoRaWAN

https://github.com/lupyuen3/blockly-zig-nuttx#test-custom-extension

We build our Custom Block with #Blockly Developer Tools

https://github.com/lupyuen3/blockly-zig-nuttx#create-custom-block
