What You'll Learn:
- Connect the Sphero RVR to the Sphero EDU app on your iPad.
- Write a simple program to make the RVR drive forward and turn.
Key Ideas to Know:
- Sphero EDU: A programming app that lets you control Sphero robots using different coding methods. We will start with Block Coding.
- Block Coding: A visual way to code where you drag and drop blocks that represent commands. It's perfect for beginners.
Activity: The First Drive
1. Open the Sphero EDU app on the iPad and connect to your RVR.
2. Start a new program for the RVR and select "Blocks."
3. Find the "Movements" blocks. Drag a roll block into your program. Set the heading to 0 degrees (straight ahead), the speed to 50, and the duration to 2 seconds.
4. Add a delay block for 1 second.
5. Add another roll block. This time, set the heading to 90 degrees (a right turn).
6. Run your program. The RVR should drive forward, pause, and then turn. You are now a UGV programmer!
