Unit 4: Boe-Bot Programming
What is a Boe-Bot?
A boe-bot is a small robot that uses BASIC micro controller that is attached to an education board. In this unit we learned about the concepts of programming and learned about micro controllers. We programmed the boe-bot to turn on LEDs and to move using servos connected to the education board. And some of the programs required calculations to be done. This unit was the most interesting of all the units since we learned a new programming language and moved a robot that can be customized by adding electronic components. In the end we were required to create a program for the boe-bot to move in a S-pattern and we had to use sensors on them for our final evaluation.
