My Capstone project, continuing an earlier team's work on making VSCode more accessible. I created a ton of documentation for the project, including a Wiki, to aid in onboarding the team that came after us.

Mind Reader Logo

Mind_Reader

The current editor options available lack the level of accessibility that is required to allow people who are visually impaired to adequately write, edit, and debug code.

This tool extends Visual Studio Codes existing accessibility options to enable people with a visual impairment to learn Python programming with LEGO Mindstorms. Our goal is to:

  • provide an accessible experience to people with a visual impairment

  • not change the editing workflow for people without a visual impairment

Major Features

  • Play audio alerts for syntax and runtime errors.

  • Present a summary of the scope for an individual line of code.

  • Save and load programs directly onto the LEGO Hub from within Visual Studio Code

For Developers

Dependencies

Development Quick Start

Use the following to set up the extension for development.

$ git clone https://github.com/SingleSemesterSnobs/Mind_Reader.git
$ cd Mind_Reader
$ npm install

While inside the repository do

$ code .

to open the cloned repository in VS Code.

Then, use "Run > Start Debugging" on the menu bar to start the Extension Development Host (F5 by default).


See the Visual Studio Code getting started API page if you need more help.
