Programs

This program is an example solution to the tasks in lesson 5 of course 4.5. To operate correctly, the robot is expected to have a medium motor attached to port A and a touch sensor attached to port 1.

 

This program is a basic version of the game played with EV3 Kinesthetic and Memory Game. For the program to work correctly, there must be one ultrasonic module attached to port 4, one gyro module attached to port 2 and one color module attached to port 3. The other modules are not required from this program.

This program is a final version of the game played with EV3 Kinesthetic and Memory Game. In this game you are given a sequence of hints which you are expected to remember and to perform the right actions in the given order.

The block has the following parameters from left to right:

• Degrees – the degrees the front wheels of the car will turn;
• Power – the power of the car;
• Limited/Unlimited – if the value is marked by a tick, the car will move for an unlimited period of time; if the value is marked by an x, the car will move for the specified number of rotations;
• Rotations – the number of rotations the car will make.

Attention! This block is made only for robots with two driving large motors on ports B and C and one steering medium motor on port A!

Detailed explanation of how to use this myBlock is written in the tutorial How to use the CarControl MyBlock.

Using the On for degrees (rotations) option of the the Medium Motor Move Block you program the motor to rotate for the given number of degrees. However, sometimes is useful to program the motor to go to a given position, instead. To achieve that you can use this block. It takes the start position of the motor as 0 degrees. Then when you run the block with given number of degrees it just rotates the motor to that position. For exaple if your current position is -20 degrees and you run the block with 30 degrees, the motor will rotate for 50 degrees. But if your current position is 10 degrees the same program will rotate the motor for 20 degrees.

The programs are designed to be used with Mintonet - a LEGO Volleyball robot.The project consists of several programs:

• Shoot - just shoots the ball.
• ShootWithUltrasonicSensor - this one is pretty much the same, but uses the ultrasonic seonsor infront of the robot as a triger.
• MoveAndShoot - the robot moves sideways until it sees a target and then it shoots the ball at it. This can be either its "volleyball partner" or a box or some other target practice object.
• MoveShootGoBack - the robot moves sideways until it sees a target, shoots the ball and then it returns to its starting position.
• MovePassMove - the robot moves sideways until it sees a target, shoots the ball and then it continues moving. This program is great to be used with second robot and try to pass each other the balls.

The block has the following parameters from left to right:

• Degrees – the degrees the front wheels of the car will turn;
• Power – the power of the car;
• Limited/Unlimited – if the value is marked by a tick, the car will move for an unlimited period of time; if the value is marked by an x, the car will move for the specified number of rotations;
• Rotations – the number of rotations the car will make. 

Simple Linear Op Mode for the FTC Tetrix robot, for controlling the Arm with the GamePad triggers.

Extend the previous Simple Calm Op Mode with logic for controlling the hand.

When lowering the arm it is important not to hit the robot. This is a simple program for controlling the speed of lowering the arm. It uses the distance sensor.
