LEGO ROBOTICS LAB 2

​STEP 1

​STEP 2

​Plug the left touch sensor into Port 1.
Plug the right touch sensor into Port 4.

TOUCH SENSORS

Sensors can be programmed with a Wait Block. Choose a sensor from the list.

​

Practice finding the Wait Block

TOUCH SENSORS

Setting a Touch Sensor to Compare, allows an action to happen when a button is pressed, bumped, or released.

IMPORTANT NOTE

• Touch Sensors (and other sensors in the Wait Block), can repeat actions if they are inside a loop

• Touch Sensors are commonly followed up with a motor block

  • For example, when a touch sensor is pressed, a motor will turn on

Practice using a touch sensor with other coding blocks

Part 1 Assignment

• Inside a Loop...

• Program the windmill to Turn On when Touch Sensor 1 is pressed

• Program the windmill to Turn Off when Touch Sensor 4 is pressed

• Show the teacher when you have completed this.

Part 2 Assignment

• After Step 3 is successful, add notes for off and on...

• When the windmill is turned on, play note B6 for 1 second

• When the windmill is turned off, play Note C5 for one second

• Show the teacher when you have finished

​STEP 5

• Fill out the Lab Report

• Keep your bot together, and the coding block sequence, for Lab 3
