Added some hardware-related blocks based on the original Scratch, mBlock enables users to read sensors, control motors and even the whole robot with ease. Download: http://mblock.cc/download/ Get started with mBlock to program the mBot: http://learn.makeblock.cc/mbot/ 1. Introduction of Bluetooth module More detailed tutorials: http://learn.makeblock.cc/mbot/ The 2.4G wireless serial includes two parts: 2.4G wireless serial-USB for computer; 2.4G wireless serial-module for mCore. It uses the same technology as wireless mouse and is very suitable for classroom. No driver and pairing needed. More detailed tutorials: http://learn.makeblock.cc/mbot/ This Bluetooth module is designed specially for mCore with the support of Bluetooth 2.0 and 4.0. It's suitable for both individual users and family. Users can use their smart phones or computers to control the mBots wirelessly with this module.
- 8. 12 Arduino Programming(C language) Arduino is an open-source electronics prototyping platform based on flexible, easy-to-use hardware and software. The Arduino software consists of a development environment(IDE) and the core libraries. The IDE is written in Java and based on the Processing development environment. More detailed tutorials: http://learn.makeblock.cc/mbot/ Electronic Modules on Makeblock--Further Exploration http://learn.makeblock.cc/ultrasonic-sensor/ Me Sound Sensor can measure the volume.It can be used in some sound interactive projects,such as an voice operated switch. Me Temperature Sensor is a stainless steel tube sensor which is used for measuring temperature. Me PIR Motion Sensor can detect infrared ray which derives from animals/humans within 19.7 feet (6 meters) Me 7-Segment Display is a display module with four digits tube which can show some data....some data, such as speed, time, score, and etc. Me Joystick is normally used to control the moving direction of object. See More on Makeblock Platform Me 3-Axis Accelerometer and Gyro Sensor is used to measure the angular rate and the acceleration information of your robot or other devices. It is useful for sumo robots to detect bumps. Me Potentiometer can convert rotary motion to an analog input which can be used to control the speed of a mobile robot, the brightness of RGB LEDs, or others. - + X Y Z
