Product description: MakeBlock - mBot-S Bluetooth STEM robot - with LED matrix
The mBot robot is created to learn programming, ideal for the beginning of the adventure with robotics and programming for elementary school students. In an intuitive mBlock program based on Scratch, you can not only program robots but also create games, animations and other programs. The set is designed for school and individual use.
Graphical environment mBlock
- Based on Scratch 2.0 developed by MIT Media Lab, with over 7 million users worldwide.
- It has an easy to use interface.
- Communicates with robots wirelessly or via USB cable.
- Allows programming of various Arduino compatible controllers (Uno, Leonardo, Makerblock Orion, mCore and others).
- It generates code for Arduino based on the program created from graphic blocks.
MakeBlock mBot-s robot electronics
- Controller compatible with Arduino Uno.
- Marking inputs/outputs of the controller makes it easier to connect sensors and motors correctly.
- The design of the sockets prevents incorrect connection.
- It has replaceable 2.4G and Bluetooth communication modules.
- It has integrated two LEDs, buzzer, infrared transmitter and receiver, light sensor and button.
- Possibility to connect analogue and digital sensors.
- Expandable with additional modules such as compass, accelerometer, LED screen, sound sensor, touch, temperature, etc.
