Programs

This project is for Lintu - a LEGO Mindstorms EV3 Kiwi bird robot. The project includes three programs, the first is the main program for the robot. It goes forward until it sees a hand next to its beak, then closes it and returns to the starting point, its nest. The second program is an upgrade: the robot not only closes its beak, but also check if there is "food" in it. Both the checking for food and the returning to starting position are made using the motor rotation sensor.

The last program is a fun one. It makes the robot bite!

These are a series of programs that measure the length and volume of a room. They are meant to work with the robot Voli.

This MyBlock is made in substitution for a regular wait-gyro-rate block. It is made with a filter so that big differences in sensor data don't show up as much. It also uses only absolute values of the data so negative or positive angle on the gyro sensor does not matter. The MyBlock ends, when the rate is below a certain value, which is inputed by a parameter.

By default the Gyro sensor is connected on port 2 but if your robot is different, make sure to change the blocks to suit it.

This is a program for the Sebastian crab robot. It makes the robot walk, but also keeps track of where its legs are. It makes those who overrun the others to stop and wait for them. 

Instructions for the robot can be found here.

This program allows Radarford to measure the speed of oncoming cars, and control their speed. The Radarford instructions you can find here.

This is a simple program that posts, a JSON message, on MQTT server, with topic "ledStrip".

A robot that can be an ATM or smart lock with color code. The programs pull in and push out the color card and play sounds if the colors are in correct order. When the order is incorrect, you hear an error sound.

The robot takes place in lesson 7 of level 3.0 Security Systems.

This program lets the robot Safe be opened with a password, and demonstrates how passwords can be stolen.

With this program you can drive the Truckie or every robot with the same port settings. It is easy to drive with that set up because you use the left stick to control the speed and the right stick to steer. The benefit according to Truckie Hard To Drive VEX IQ Program for Modkit is that this set up uses both sticks to control the movement. Probably you will use this stick setting in the VEX competition and practicing this type of setting will be very useful for your driving skills to grow. Ones you have master this driving technic you will be more relaxed while you are on the competition.

After you feel satisfied with your driving skills and you have accomplished all the goals you can continue with the competition driving program settings.

This program is mainly for controlling Truckie VEX IQ robot.

This is the second program for the Watchtower Security Bot. These programs are meant to build on the security features the robot offers, and to return it to its starting condition afterbeing used. You can find the first program for this robot here.

This program can be used to control the Advanced Truckie. This programs include the use of the R UP and R Down Butons on the VEX Controller. It lifts up and down the arm of the Advanced Little Truckie.

These programs are ment to work with the watchtower security bot.

"ShowRate" shows the gyro rate on the display of the robot.

"SoundProgram" plays different sounds depending on the vibration the gyro scenes.

"GreedTheGuard" plays sounds depending on the vibration for 15 seconds, or until the ultrasonic sensor scenes something near it.

"Optimised" is the same program as "GreedTheGuard", but it uses the time condition in the loop.

A program, that uses the Radarfrod robot to detect the speed of a moving vehicle. It has the following MyBlocks:

• WaitForTheArm: It's basically a wait block, that waits for the Up variable in the CheckMySpeed program to become false.
• DetectSpeed: Detects the speed of a moving object and displays it on the screen. This continues, until the Up variable in CheckMySpeed program to become true. This MyBlock also rings a siren if the speed of the object is more than the set one. The speed we use is in centimeters per second.
• LiftArm: Lifts Radarfords arm for the set amount of seconds.

NOTE: The program contains my blocks, that will appear broken if you use any version before 1.3.0 of the EV3 Mindstorms Software

A program for the Comet robot.

It uses an Infrared sensor and the Infrared remote control. The program uses the following MyBlocks:

• PowerChange: Changes the power of the Large Motors by the set amount. 
• SteeringChange: Rotates the Medium Motor by the set value. 

NOTE: The program contains my blocks, that will appear broken if you use any version before 1.3.0 of the EV3 Mindstorms Software

This program is for Cardiidae - a LEGO Mindstorms EV3 Clam robot. It provides a solution for the final tasks in Lesson 1, level D1. It makes the clam robot detect when it is being opened and then to close itself.

With this program you can drive the Truckie or every robot with the same port settings. It is hard to drive with that set up because to have the robot move in the right direction you need to be very precise with the stick. The part of the problem is that this set up uses only one stick to control the movement. You have to chose left or right stick. If you use both it will be a great mess. It is not impossible but it is very hard to do. You probably will never use this stick setting in the VEX competition but practicing this type of setting you will become very precise with the controls and your driving skills will grow a lot. Ones you have master this driving technic you will be more relaxed while you are on the competition.

After you feel satisfied with your driving skills and you have accomplished all the goals you can continue with the competition driving program settings like Truckie - Easy To Drive VEX IQ Program for Modkit.

This program is mainly for controlling Truckie VEX IQ robot.

The program consists of My-Block which reads the current power from motor A and transmits it to motor D.
