Embedded Files
Students will learn about a variety of robotic machinery and electronic parts, get to grips with the fundamentals of block-based programming, and develop their logical thinking and design skills.
- One of the most tricky things is connecting to the mBot. Bluetooth sometimes is tricky. Here are some hints:
- Only couple one PC with one mBot. This prevents confusion when choosing the "right" mBot for your personal setup.
- You need to couple the PC first to the mBot bluetooth, only then search for it within mBlock.
- Sometimes USB connection does not work, check in PC settings if driver is install correctly. If not, try a different USB port which need not have a "wrong" driver applied and then choses the newest one.
- On the Mac do not look for the Bluetooth connection but rather connect through "serial" and look out for something like "Makeblock-Eletspp"...
- Train the mentors on how to solve those issues.
- Note down the mac addresses of the mBot and place a sticky paper underneath the each mBot with the mac address. That helps you to know which mBot is which in case of confusion
