Open a new copy of the PLTW Template вЂ“ SAVE AS A3_1_2_PART1.

What it the purpose of the FUNCTION LIBRARY?.

What is the purpose of the ROBOTC Debug window?.

What is the purpose of the ROBOTC Editor Window?.

Describe a scenario where a motor or sensor might not respond as you would predict.

ROBOTC IDE CODE

From the Menu вЂ“ Robot вЂ“ Debugger Windows вЂ“ Motors and SensorsД«ottom of your screen Tabs for each item Errors вЂ“ gives you an idea what is wrong with the code Motors вЂ“ lets you test each motor вЂ“ Power can be manually changed from -127 to 127 вЂ“ Try different values for each itemД«oth Analog and Digital are displayed Items in red will automatically change their value Items in Black will change to red when input is given Try each Sensor.Make sure that the Refresh is set to Continuous.This is used to check to see if all of the Inputs, Outputs and motors are working correctly.Power is turned off or the battery needs to be replaced The VEX Cortex is not plugged into the computer

Like before, have the students check the wiring.

Naming the sensor вЂ“ Use descriptive names.

Good time to check to see if the motor is actually in the correct port on the VEX Cortex.

When naming the motor вЂ“ Use a descriptive name.

For this Project ROBOTC has pre-programmed some Standard Model Configurations.

Project Title: INPUTS AND OUTPUTS 3.1.1 Team Members: ROY ROSNIK Date: SSection: 1

Leave the Communication as Automatic Selection NOTE вЂ“ Get your students in the habit of checking this every time they start a new project.

Select the Platform Type so that it shows Natural Language (VEX Cortex).

Setting the Platform and Communications method:

Once the Template is Opened вЂ“ Have the students SAVE AS the name of the assignment that they are working on.

Notice the File Path вЂ“ If you are not in the VEX2 Folder take this time to find it.

Servo motors are a type of motor that can be directed to turn to face a speciп¬Ѓc direction, rather than just spin forward or backward.

For 3-Wire Motor Ports (Ports 2-9 on the Cortex), a Motor Controller must be used in between the Microcontroller and the motor.

The motor connects directly to 2-Wire Motor Ports (Ports 1 & 10 on the Cortex Microcontroller).

The light sensor uses a photocell that allows your robot to detect and react to light.

Device emits a high-frequency sound wave that alerts the robot to things in its path.

Avoid obstacles and measure distances with the ultrasonic range finder.

With the Quadrature Encoder's two output channels you can measure both the position and direction of rotation of a VEX shaft.

With the Potentiometer you can determine both position and direction of rotation.

Program your robot to follow a black line over a white surface.

Functionality is preprogrammed in the VEX Microcontroller.

Useful as a trigger in a variety of applications.

Bendable sheet metal switch 'arm' is very versatile.

These switches are great for signaling when a robot arm has reached the top or bottom of its motion.

Functionality is preprogrammed in the VEX Microcontroller.

Useful as a trigger in a variety of applications.

Rugged bumpers allows triggering by large impacts.

The Bumper switch works as a trigger that provides feedback to the Microcontroller as events 'happen'.

The Cortex вЂ“ STMicroelectronics ARM CortexM3 user processor вЂ“ Wireless with built-in VEXnet technology вЂ“ (8) Standard 3-wire Motor ports вЂ“ (2) 2-wire Motor ports вЂ“ (1) I2C 'smart sensor' port вЂ“ (2) UART Serial Ports вЂ“ (8) Hi-res (12-bit) Analog Inputs вЂ“ (12) Fast digital I/O ports which can be used as interrupts.This area allows you to perform basic tasks (saving, copy & pasting, undo, etc.), switch between multiple open programs using the tabbed interface, and access all of ROBOTC's additional functionality through the various menus.Portions of code from the 'Function Library' can be dragged into the Editor.This portion of the interface allows user to see all the functions available in ROBOTC at their user level.This is the part of the interface where the user can write code.There are three main sections to the ROBOTC Integrated Development Environment (IDE): 1.Basic Programming вЂ“ Open and Closed Loop Systems.Basic Programming вЂ“ While and If statements вЂ“ Variable and Functions.Basic ProgrammingвЂ“ Inputs and Outputs вЂ“ Basic Outputs Programming вЂ“ Basic Input Programming.
