SEKER

Source–SPIKE Prime Runner

SEKER is an cross-platform, browser-based application to run Python and Source programs on LEGO SPIKE Prime kits. SEKER is also generalizable to other MicroPython-based boards, thus making it accessible for as many students and teachers as possible.

Built using React, SEKER uses the WebSerial API to interface with the SPIKE Prime hub connected via USB. Source programs are serialized into JSON and sent to the hub, where a Python interpreter is running. The interpreter parses the JSON syntax tree and runs the program directly on the hub. Much like Source Academy, SEKER is backend-less, meaning hosting can be done for no cost.

Note: the WebSerial API is only supported in Chromium-based browsers, version 89 onwards.
