Coin counter program
This program counts coins. It is meant to work with Scrooge McRobot. For it to count the coins correctly, you must change the coins border sizes to match the measurements of the coins that are being used.

This program counts coins. It is meant to work with Scrooge McRobot. For it to count the coins correctly, you must change the coins border sizes to match the measurements of the coins that are being used.
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.
This program is for Lifter - an attachment for SUV Box Robot and Into Orbits M09–Strength Exercise material. In this program you may need to change the values in the Wait - Color Sensor blocks if the program is not working properly. The program ses also Gyro sensor, that mean that you have to check do you have a gyro drift. If you have such, turn of the robot and start it again. After turning it on, do not touch the robot until it is completely loaded and ready to run. In that way you are going to cancel the gyro drift.
A program, that uses the Radarfrod robot to detect the speed of a moving vehicle. It has the following MyBlocks:
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, that detects vibrations on the surface the robot stands. The program is designed for this SecurityPlate robot.
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 program allows Radarford to measure the speed of oncoming cars, and control their speed. The Radarford instructions you can find here.
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!
This project is for Barco - LEGO Mindstorms EV3 sailboat robot. The project includes two programs.
The first program makes the robot go in a square shape, using the gyro sensor for better accuracy. The second program makes it go in a triangle, again, using the gyro sensor. These programs are a great way to learn how to use the gyro sensor.
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.
This project is for Piscis - a LEGO Mindstorms EV3 Fish robot. The project includes two programs for two different feeding spots for the fish. The first one is straight across the reef in which Piscis lives, and the second one is to the side, after a 90 degree turn. In those programs the fish robot has to wait a few times in order to be sure no sharks are around him. It detects feeding spots using a touch sensor. The interesting part is how it returns, without knowledge how far it has gone. The program uses motor rotation sensor in order to return to the reef in both cases.
These are a series of programs that measure the length and volume of a room. They are meant to work with the robot Voli.
A collection of MyBlocks, that help you use the Turtle robot. The MyBlocks used are the following:
FollowCourse: Makes the turtle rotate, until it reaches the course it uses. If it's already on it, this MyBlock makes the turtle go forward. It uses the power you set it on.
PickNewCourse: Makes the turtle pick a new course.
HideInShell: Makes the turtle hide in its shell for the designated amount of seconds.
CurrentAndDesiredCourse: Displays the Current course and the course it wants on the display of the robot.
Careful: Gyro Sensor port in this program is port 3. Check your cables when you run this program.
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 demonstrates how to use a tree of switches to recognise a pattern and offers a unique password protection for each one of them vie special MyBlock, that can be copied for every new added user.
This program is for Midas - a LEGO Mindstorms EV3 Clam robot. It makes the clam robot detect when it is being opened and then to close itself. It utilizes the rotation sensor as a way to know if it is being forced and to know when it should stop closing afterwards.
A program for the Comet robot.
It uses an Infrared sensor and the Infrared remote control. The program uses the following MyBlocks:
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 Antares - a simple LEGO Mindstorms EV3 Scorpion robot. The program uses rotation sensor to detect if the scorpion has caught anything using its claws. We predict how many degrees the claw has to move to close fully and if it hasn't done that many, it has caught something.
This MyBlock waits for the color sensor to detect any color and returns the peak angle the gyro detected at that time. This program is meant to work with a coin counting robot named Scrooge McRobot.
