# Generic Arduino Uno Blocks 

NyBoard is equivalent to a generic Arduino Uno board with rich peripherals. Besides the native Arduino IDE, you can also program it using Mind+ blocks. But be aware that if you use this mode, the original OpenCat firmware will be over-written, and you will need to re-[upload the firmware](https://docs.petoi.com/upload-firmware) later to resume the default robot animal function. 

Setting up the coding environment is as easy as the following steps.
