You have the controller, you have the diode. The controller has a number of pins (holes). Where should you put the diode so that it starts blinking?
The small holes on the controller are called pins. On our controller we have 32 pins. The more pins that you have, the more elements you can controller with this microcontroller. For this video the interesting pins and 13 and GND
In this episode I will show you how to program the touch sensor part of the LEGO Mindstorms education robotics sets. I have given answers to questions like - how the touch sensor works or how you can use it.
In this course, you will learn how to program the game "Keep 'em clean". This is a game where the player controls a number of "people" on the screen using movements detected by a camera.
As an exercise try to implement the calibration of the minimum and maximum values for a single sensor.
Robots could do chores for us and they must consider the load of the cargo or the robot could be damaged.
In this video tutorial we explore acceleration and deceleration and how to make the robot turn precisely by using acceleration and deceleration. The goal is for us to demonstrate a program that turns the robot to 90 degree. In the first 45 the robot is accelerating and in the second 45 it is decelerating.
Implement the program for array initialization.
Follow the video tutorials for initializing arrays and implement the program.
We encourage you to explore the software on your own.
Sometimes the answer that you get by calculating seems not to be right. Is it the calculation that is wrong. Probably it is not the calculation, but something is happening with the robot.
Let's make a competition - there is a pole that the robot must turn around and return home.
Our next robot is called CastorBot, because of the castor ball.
The task in this tutorial is to execute the program 10 times and to do it yourself. If you have your attachment then use it. If you have our attachment then use it. But execute the program 10 times and make sure that it works.
Sometimes a good teacher needs a few tricks in his sleeve, so that he can surprise and entertain his students.
We will take a look at the EV3 motors and will go into details about them
In this video tutorial we start with the basic of the basic, eg. how to move. We use the block from LEGO Education SPIKE Prime Word Blocks software. It is based on Scratch. The goal of the tutorial is to demonstrate how we can move and to teach something very important - the robot moves inaccurately
This LEGO Education SPIKE Prime video tutorial demonstrates the difference in turning slow and turning fast and using the Motion sensor to understand the orientation of the robot. We do 10 consecutive runs. The goal is to understand what can you expect from the robot behavior in terms of consistency.
This video tutorial shows how the LEGO Mindstorms EV3 Handlebar Chopper Motorcycle robot works. See how fast it is.
We will demonstrate with a robot what the acceleration is and the effects of high and low acceleration.
This video tutorial contains a detailed explanation on how we accomplish the FIRST LEGO League 2018-2019 Into Orbit mission called M05. EXTRACTION. On every robotics competition we have the challenge to collect, carry and return to base a number of objects. It is just in different way every time.
In this tutorial, we connect the Motorola phones to the Tetrix controller using the USB hub.
Let us do a quick recap of the whole lifting mission and its solution
Time to experiment with the controller, the diode and the program that makes the diode blink. Don't be afraid to change the program. We've prepared a number of tasks for you in the course that you should definitely complete before moving forward.
On the topic of following lines with a robot there is a way to make the robot follow the line a little more precisely. This method is called "Multi-states" program. Or at least we call it like this. In this tutorial you will see how we program 5 state for the robot line following program. This could be particularly important with FIRST LEGO League competitions where we must build consistent and reliable robots.
Why we will never use seconds in our lessons.
In this lesson we will program our robot to display emotions!
Let's put everything that we have learned so far into practice. Let's make a spy robot!
