Lesson Objective
Lesson Objective
Learn the fundamentals of RCU operation.
Understand programming concepts and implement software operations.
Introduction
Introduction
In this lesson, we’ll explore a robot named “Drawing Board”.
This robot uses the Intellegence Storm (E6) controller’s screen as a digital canvas, allowing for a writable drawing experience. We’ll also cover how to navigate the coordinates and operate the E6 controller.
In real-world applications, this technology can be utilized in education, where we can create interactive art projects, or in design settings, allowing professionals to brainstorm and visualize concepts in a more engaging way.
Let’s dive in and discover how it all works!

X-Y-Z axis
X-Y-Z axis
X-axis: This is the horizontal line. It helps us move left or right.
Y-axis: This is the vertical line. It helps us move up or down.
Z-axis: The point where the X-axis and Y-axis intersect. This is usually (0, 0).
Coordinates
Coordinates
A pair of numbers that tells us the exact location of a point. For example (4, 10) means 4 steps to the right on X-axis and 10 steps up from the origin on Y-axis.

Coding Blocks
E6RCU (Task 1)
E6RCU (Task 1)
This coding block should be the first block of your code.
Reset screen
Reset screen
This coding block will reset your E6 RCU screen to black or other colors.
Forever
Forever
It acts like an infinite while (true) loop & It's part of the Control category.
It keeps executing the code inside it until the program is explicitly stopped
If () then
If () then
The If () Then block will run certain blocks of code only when a specific condition is true.
X Touch Point
X Touch Point
This block is be used to get the x-coordinate of a touch point.
Y Touch Point
Y Touch Point
This block is be used to get the y-coordinate of a touch point
Greater than
Greater than
This block reports True if the first value is greater than the second value and False otherwise.
Or
Or
This block returns True if at least one of its inputs are True; if neither of them are true, it returns False.
Draw point
Draw point
This block will draw a single point like a small pen in a given color directly on E6 RCU screen.
