Tutorial: Controlling a Sprite's Movement w/Arduino Uno, ADXL335 GY-61 Accelerometer & mBlock 5

The video tutorial demonstrates how to use an Arduino Uno R3 with an ADXL335 accelerometer to control a sprite in M Block 5, a variant of Scratch 3.0. The tutorial covers setting up the hardware and software, using upload mode to interface the Arduino with the sprite, and calibrating the accelerometer for accurate movement. The demonstration shows how tilting the accelerometer moves the sprite on the screen, with adjustments made for sensitivity. The tutorial concludes with a practical demonstration of the setup.

Explain how the accelerometer detects movement along the X and Y axes.

What components are needed to set up the accelerometer with the Arduino?

Describe the process of connecting the Arduino board to M Block 5.

How does the upload mode in M Block help in interfacing with the Arduino?

What adjustments are made to the X and Y coordinates to ensure the panda sprite moves correctly?

What is the purpose of the calibration method mentioned in the video?

Discuss the significance of the sensitivity adjustment for the panda sprite's movement.
