Renaming Blue-Bot
Blue-Bot has the default Bluetooth name "Blue-Bot". This name can be changed within
the Blue-Bot app settings. Where more than one Blue-Bot is being used in one area
it is sensible to change the Bluetooth names. When a name is changed this could be
noted on Blue-Bot's underside or perhaps as a small number plate. Using a range of
Bluetooth names will make Blue-Bot easier to manage in the classroom.
Programming Blue-Bot
Blue-Bot has been designed as a simple floor robot.
After initial switch-on, the sequence memory is cleared, pressing <Go> at this point will
simply cause a sound to be played and no motion to occur.
The user can press a sequence of commands, which are stored in the sequence
memory. A maximum of 200 commands can be stored; each command being either
one forward/backward movement, left/right turn, or a pause.
¥ Each forward or backward command causes the unit to move approx. 150mm in the
required direction.
¥ Each turn command causes the unit to rotate 90
o
.
¥ A pause command causes the unit to pause for 1 second.
¥ When the <Go> button is pressed, the unit will execute all the commands stored in
order with a short pause between each command.
¥ When the command sequence completes, the unit will stop and play a sound. (The
sound can be turned on/off using the switch on the underside).
¥ Pressing <Go > whilst a sequence is running will stop the sequence.
Blue-Bot Interaction
¥ To enable the Blue-Bot interaction, ensure all switches on the base are in the 'ON'
position. Blue-Bot will recognise and acknowledge another Blue-Bot or Bee-Bot when
passing within a distance of 15cm in front. When the sensor is activated Blue-Bot will play
a default sound depending on which bot has been detected. The sound will activate
every 5 seconds.
¥ The user can choose to record their own voice on the sensor, so instead of the pre-
