For your final task, you need to get a Makey Makey from the Technology Cabinet and hook it up to your computer.
If you need to refresh your memory about how the Makey Makey works, click HERE and read the 'How To' page.
Once you are comfortable with using the Makey Makey again, your job is to use various materials (ex: apples, bananas, coins, tin foil, Play-Doh, etc.) to control the mBot.
There are six main inputs for the Makey Makey (up arrow, down arrow, left arrow, right arrow, space bar, and left click). Each of these inputs can be linked to a different conductive material. Set up your mBot programming and your Makey Makey so that it works as follows:

- If you touch one thing, the mBot will move forwards.
- If you touch a different thing, the mBot will move backwards.
- If you touch a third thing, the mBot will turn right.
- If you touch a fourth thing, the mBot will turn left.
- If you touch a fifth thing, the mBot will play a series of beeps.
- As long as you are touching a sixth thing, the mBot's LEDs will continually flash different colours.
You can use this code to detect when the left mouse button is clicked:

Of course, you need to record one more video on your video camera to document what you have done in this final stage. At the beginning of the video, one of the group members will state exactly what is supposed to happen and then you will record it.
Congratulations! You have now finished the mBot station! :) |
