Experimental software and hardware project by Arduino

Instructions:

1. Readrequired parts
2. Execute 3D printing of the robot shell - coming soon
3. Mount the robot followingmounting instructions
4. Upload base firmware on the robot usingArduino IDE (sketches can be found in the /sketches folder of this repo)
5. OpenArduino lab for Scratch and program your robot
6. Have fun!

If you want to install and launch Scratch on your local machine for development purposes you need tofollow the instructions inscratch-arduino-extensions folder.

Scratch is a free programming platform where you can create your own interactive stories, games, and animations.

If you want to connect to an Arduino board via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) you need to install a couple ofArduino specific extensions.

Then you need to install Scratch link (https://scratch.mit.edu/download/scratch-link) which allows you toconnect your Scratch project to a BLE device.

1. Clone and install the scratch-gui repository

make init

to install everything needed for the project or

make scratch-gui-install

to install only the stuff related with the Scratch GUI.

2. Then apply the patches

make scratch-gui-patch

1. thepatch-gui.js script copies a custom Arduino extension in the extensions folder and modifies the code ofScratch's extension manager to include that extension

2. theadd-banner.js script copies a new React component in thescratch-gui folder and modifies thegui.jsx fileto include that component

3. Finally, start the local server athttp://127.0.0.1:8601

make scratch-gui-start

4. To remove and clean the scratch-gui directory

make scratch-gui-clean
