4 The Sense-Think-Act Robot Plan how to rea t SENSE? THINK The Environment Sense the e iro e t Do something! ACT 4
5 Form Signing and Accountability Each kit = $200 Accountability & Responsibility Sign and date the chart below acknowledging your accountability and responsibility for the care and inventory of all components of the kit. If you lose any of the parts, you are responsible for replacing it. Also, a checklist will need to be completed for each day to check inventory. Signature Date Signature Date 5
6 Inventory Sheet Daily checklist and inventory sheet Match kit components with picture Check your quantity Initial and date Inventory Sheet 6
7 Thinking with The Hummingbird Controller
8 Attaching the Standoffs Two sided Duo Controller Standoffs protect the control board Take out the 4 Standoffs in kit Squeeze the ends of the Standoffs and push them into the bottom of each corner 8
9 Acting with LEDs and Motors The Outputs Servos Gear Motors Single Color LED Tri Color LED Vibration Motor 9
10 Terminal Tool and Single Color LED Items needed from your kit: 10
11 Using the Terminal Tool Connecting input and output devices orials/connecting-electronics 0-50 sec. 11
12 Connection Steps 1. Remove any plastic from end of wire 2. Use thumb and index finger to twist individual strands together tightly 3. Press little button on top 4. Wire should insert easily If you have to push it hard make sure the button is all the way down 5. Release button to finish 12
13 Tri-Color LED a red-green-blue (RGB) light source which can produce many light-based colors like the RBG pixels of a TV or Computer screen, the colors mix together to make different colors 13
14 Tri-Color LED Take out the Tri-Color LED from your kit Watch video 50-1:20 Connect the Tri-Color LED 14
15 VIBRATION Motor a small motor that causes a shaking motion where you can control the intensity of shaking like the i rate mode of a cellphone 15
16 Vibration Motor Take out the Vibration Motor from your kit Watch video 1:20-1:45 Connect the Vibration Motor Since both wires are the same color, the vibration motor can be plugged in two ways. Switching them just changes which direction the weight spins. Yellow + and - 16
17 Motor an electric motor with speed control that can rotate in either direction indefinitely like a fan where you can control the blade speed and blowing direction 17
18 Gear Motor Take out the Gear Motor from your kit Watch video 1:45-2:17 Connect the Gear Motor Since both wires are the same color, the motor can be plugged in two ways. Switching them just changes which direction is fo a d. Yellow + and 18
19 Servo a limited range motor with controls for specific angular positions like an elbow which can move to different angles through a limited motion range 19
20 Servos Take out a Servo from your kit Watch video 2:17-2:48 Connect the Servo Looks like a row of pins on the control board 20
21 Sensing with Hummingbird The Sensors Distance Rotary Sound Temperature Light 21
22 Light Sensor a sensor that detects how bright the ambient light is like in walkway lights that turn on at dark 22
23 Light Sensor Take out the Light Sensor from your kit Watch video 2:48-3:18 Connect the Light Sensor 23
24 Other Components Wheel Adapter- can be attached to the Gear Motor to give you a larger surface to glue onto Plastic Block Adapter- allows you to snap Lego pulleys and gears onto the Gear Motor 24
25 Other Components (cont.) Extension Cable- used with the Servos to give you extra wire length when connecting to your Duo Controller Power Cord- gives you extra power to run your motors 25
26 Sensors You Can Sign Out for Your Project Distance Sensors (12) Sound Sensors (12) Rotary Sensors (12) 26
27 Using CREATE Lab Visual programmer to animate your project You will build a series of Expressions and Sequences to create the program for your project 27
28 Defining the Terms Expression- contains the settings of one or more outputs (Ex. Waving your hand in one direction would be one expression. Two expressions would be moving your hand to the right and then to the left.) Sequence- series of Expressions turned into a program 28
29 Connecting the Duo Controller to the Computer Take out your Duo Controller and USB cord Make sure the Standoffs (little legs) are still attached Plug in the USB cable to the Controller and then plug the Controller into the computer **You want to make sure the controller is plugged into the computer BEFORE you open CREATE Lab 29
30 Hummingbird Plug in USB and Power: Motor Power Indicator Motor Power Port USB Port Status Indicator 30
31 Using CREATE Lab Click on the CREATE Lab icon on the desktop Make sure your group writes down your computer number and you use the same computer number for the duration of the project Green light will indicate that a connection has been made 31
32 Video-Introduction (1:10) ng-visual-programmer#expression 32
33 Connecting the Outputs to the Controller Take out a Single Color LED, Tri-Color LED, Power Cord, Terminal Tool, and a Servo For today, I would like everyone to connect their outputs into portal 1 for demonstration purposes. **Remember to connect the wires properly. 33
34 Creating an Expression (Part 2 from playlist 4:10) ng-visual-programmer#expression 34
35 Your Turn to Make Expressions! Take the piece of tape and tape the Tri-Color LED to the Servo. Tape the light at 12:00 with the words on the servo at 6:00. (This will allow you to see the direction that the Servo is rotating as the light turns on.) Light up your LEDs to different colors and levels of brightness Set the Servo to rotate at different angles 35
36 Expression Building Practice Make su e ou a e o the E p essio Builde ta We are going to practice building the following: 1. Light turns on and rotates right 2. Light turns off and rotates left 3. Everything off 36
37 Your Task: Plan and Save an Expression Practice Task 1 Our expression will turn a light color on and rotate right 1. Click box for Servo port 1 2. Slide Servo to Click Tri-Color LED port 1 4. Slide red brightness level to 50 (leave all other colors on 0).. Cli k o the a e o i the uppe ight ha d o e. a e as: ed se o This e p essio should appea u de E p essio s o the right side of the screen.) What problems (if any) did you have? 37
38 Your Task: Plan and Save an Expression Practice Task 2 Our expression will turn a light color off and rotate left Cli k o Ne i the uppe ight ha d o e of the E p essio Builde Ne t, li k o es fo the pop up that sa s Clea E p essio? Click box for Servo port 1 Slide Servo to 50 Click Tri-Color LED port 1 Slide red brightness level to 0 (leave all other colors on 0.) Cli k o the a e o i the uppe ight ha d o e Save as: redoff se o This e p essio should appea u de E p essio s o the right side of the screen.) **When sequencing later, depending on the order of task 1 and task 2, left and right may be reversed. What problems (if any) did you have? 38
39 Your Task: Plan and Save an Expression Practice Task 3 Our expression will turn everything off that was programmed so far Cli k o Ne i the uppe ight ha d o e of the E p essio Builde Ne t, li k o es fo the pop up that sa s Clea E p essio? Click box for Servo port 1 Slide Servo to 0 Click Tri-Color LED port 1 Slide red brightness level to 0 (leave all other colors on 0.) Cli k o the a e o i the uppe ight ha d o e Save as: Tri-Color1off servo1off (This expression should appear under E p essio s o the ight side of the s ee. What problems (if any) did you have? 39
40 Saving the Expressions Cli k o a e a d a e ou e p essio It is important to name the expressions based on what you set them to do. (Ex. If you set the e o to otate at a 9 a d the light is set to red, you might want to name it rightred90.) 40
41 Planning Process The key word is PLAN. We want you to think about what you would like to happen with your Servo and LEDs and then program it to see if it actually works the way you intentionally planned it to work. 41
42 Points to Remember About Expressions You must have the box checked for the output or input you would like to work. You must choose a level of brightness, angle, direction, speed, etc. for each output. It is a good idea to save and name your expressions by what they do. (This is important when we get to building sequences and you need to look at the expressions you have available and in what order you want things to happen.) **To test your expression, go back and select e er thi g off a used ports ust e set at 0 fro the list on the right hand side of the screen and then select the expression you want to try. Next, you need to sele t Ope E pressio a d li k es o the pop up screen. From here, your expression should work. 42
43 Your Task: Plan and Save an Expression Directions: Write the plan of your first expression below and then program it using CREATE Lab to see if it works according to your plan. 1. Our e pressio ill Cause the Servo to rotate at (more than 90 degrees) to the and the LED will light up (color) at a level of (brightness number) (Remember you must uncheck the boxes to try out your saved expression.) Did your programmed expression match the written plan? Explain. What problems (if any) did you have? 43
44 Your Task: Plan and Save an Expression with the Light Off Directions: Write the plan of your first expression in the chart below and then program it using CREATE Lab to see if it works according to your plan. 1. Our e pressio ill Cause the Servo to rotate at (less than 90 degrees) to the left and the LED will be set at 0. Save this expression as light off. Did your programmed expression match the written plan? Explain. What problems (if any) did you have? 1. **Saving one expression with the light on and then saving a separate expression with the light off will allow you to program a project with a blinking light. 44
45 Other Output Components Vibration Motor- To program, use the slider to set the intensity of the vibration motor from low to high (100). Motor- To program, use the slider to set the speed and direction of the motor. The motor turns both clockwise and counter clockwise and can run faster (hare) or slower (turtle). Servo-To program, use the slider to set the Servo angle from 0 to
46 Other Output Components -Audio Select from a tone, clip, or speech. Click play to test. Tone: Choose tone from the piano keys and set the duration and volume. Clip: Choose a clip from the drop down menu or upload your own. Speech: Type the word(s) you wish your robot to speak. 46
47 Directions: Write a plan for your next expression below using at least 3 outputs and then program it using CREATE Lab to see if it works according to your plan. 2. Our expressio ill look at the last exa ple for help Did your programmed expression match the written plan? Explain. What problems (if any) did you have? 47
48 Inputs-Sensors Sensors are not visible in the Expressio Builder e ause the e is ot a to set the. The e used i the Sequence Builder to choose between different expressions or sequences of expressions. We will learn how to use sensors in our program when we learn how to create sequences next. 48
