Servo to a position

Move a servo between two positions using the Servo block and a delay. This tutorial is part of the Nairda learning path. You can build it step by step inside the app, which checks every block you place before letting you move on. The steps We create a servo called arm on pin 9. We add a While loop, which repeats forever. Inside the loop we drop the servo, which starts at position 90. Behind it we put a delay of 1000 milliseconds. We add another Servo block and send it to position 180. And another delay of 1000, to give it time to get there. When you finish, the app takes you straight to the next tutorial in the path. ...

A motor that spins

Turn a motor at a constant speed and stop it with a delay. This tutorial is part of the Nairda learning path. You can build it step by step inside the app, which checks every block you place before letting you move on. The steps We create a motor called wheel on pins 2, 3 and 5. We add a While loop, which repeats forever. Inside the loop we set the motor to speed 100. Behind it a delay of 2000, so it spins for two seconds. Another motor block, now with speed 0, which stops it. And another delay of 2000, so the motor rests. When you finish, the app takes you straight to the next tutorial in the path. ...

Arithmetic operators

Two dashboard buttons that add and subtract one from the same variable. This tutorial is part of the Nairda learning path. You can build it step by step inside the app, which checks every block you place before letting you move on. The steps We add a While loop, which repeats forever. We create a number variable called value. On the dashboard we draw a label and name it value. We add a button and name it Add. We add a second button and name it Subtract. On the dashboard canvas we build a Set with a sum inside. The sum is value plus 1. We drag that block onto the Add button and drop it on Press. We build another Set with a subtraction inside. This one is value minus 1. And we drop it on the Press of the Subtract button. Finally we drag the variable value onto the label.
