You know how to program. You know how to move a servo. You know how to build a robot in 3D. This module is the lesson where all three come together as one: your mecano, following your program, from a dashboard you design yourself.
This module hasn’t been recorded yet. It’s the only one missing from the course: the other three tracks are complete and published. In the meantime, you can request your certification exam with what’s already there — write to me and we’ll work it out.
Planned and subject to change: it will be adjusted as the lessons are recorded.
The same pin number you used when assembling the piece is the one you write in the block. One contract, two halves.
Sliders, buttons, and the joystick placed by you, tied to the variables that move your robot.
The ultrasonic sensor and the line sensor stop being a number in the terminal and start deciding what the robot does.
Hip, ankle, and the gait cycle. The project where physics stops being just a decoration.
You paint the track line, read the floor, and correct the course. The classic, built from start to finish.
Measure, decide, and turn. A real state machine, with a real robot right in front of you.
And in the meantime: the three projects in the module are already built and import into the app with a tap. Open them, look inside, and change them — it's the best way to get ahead.
Grab the app and the mecano for each one, open them in Nairda and hit play. They are the very same files the app saves inside.
Four servos: two hips and two ankles. The dashboard has a joystick and a cadence slider, and the program is split into seven functions: start, forward, back, right, left and stop.
Two line sensors and two motors. The black track is painted with your finger on the mecano's floor: it is exactly what the sensors keep reading.
Two motors and an ultrasonic sensor. The dashboard plots the distance the sensor is measuring, live.
