Study Notes
- The study notes will detail the future of technology, specifically in robotics
- Prepared by Ms. Lyndee Noya
Activity
- Robot movement relay
Basic Movement
- How to move the Micro:bit car kit using motors.
- How to use extensions in makecode.
- How to compute speed with time and distance
Motors
- An electronic motor converts electrical energy into mechanical motion
- Most electric motors use the force of magnetism.
- Motors can spin in either a counter-clockwise or clockwise direction
- Reversing the flow of electricity through the motors allows them to spin in either direction and move forward or backward
MakeCode
- Go to MakeCode to begin the activity
Speed, Distance and Time
- Speed measures how quickly an object moves from one place to another.
- Speed is equal to the distance traveled divided by the time.
- Distance is equal to speed x time
- Time is equal to distance/speed
Average Speed
- A car travels 165 miles in 3 hours
- To calculate the average speed, in miles per hour, of the car requires dividing 165/3
- The average speed in this instance is 55mph
Drills
- Emotion controller:
- Display a HAPPY FACE when button A is pressed
- Display a SAD FACE when button B is pressed
- Clear the Micro:bit matrix LED when both A and B are pressed
