Study Notes

Robotics with mBot2

  • Examine the welcome screen of mBlock to understand its different sections.
  • The CyberPi has 5 categories of blocks for control.
  • To program the mBot2 robot, click "extension".
  • Examine the mBot2 shield and ultrasonic/RGB sensors.
  • Click "add" to add corresponding blocks.
  • Adding the mBot2 shield extension creates two new categories.
  • The mBot2 Chassis category controls the two motors connected to the robot's wheels.
  • EM1 controls the left wheel.
  • EM2 controls the right wheel.
  • The robot's wheel rotation can be automatic or manual.
  • Four blocks control movement and rotation.
  • Both motors have equal power, meaning the robot cannot turn left or right.
  • The challenge is to create a robotics mission for movement in all directions.
