Build, Code, Test, Learn . . . Go!
You have built a robot, you have programmed PULSE, and you have tested and
tweaked your design, so where do you go from here?
This guide was intended to teach the essentials of building and coding a TETRIX
PRIME robot using the PULSE controller,
TETRIX Ardublockly
, and the
Arduino
Software (IDE)
. However, this is only the beginning, and there are plenty of
additional resources available and opportunities to build larger robots that can
complete more complex tasks. Now that you have learned the basics, you are
limited only by your imagination. To help you get started, here are some favorite
resources.
Please be sure to check out the appendix of this guide, which includes a vast array
of additional resources.
Want more challenges?
Complete the activities contained within this guide through the text-based
Arduino
Software (IDE)
. Re-create the block-based programs in actual text code. Make
modifications and attempt the extension activities using this code. This can vastly
extend the amount of time you can spend on this guide.
For more on the Arduino Software (IDE) and programming tips and tricks:
TETRIX PULSE is built on Arduino architecture and is thus usable with programming
languages that support Arduino. This enables PULSE users to access the Arduino
online community, which has produced a sea of support materials to get beginners
coding quickly. Learn more at
www.arduino.cc
.
For more on the TETRIX building system:
The parts and pieces used in this guide are only a portion of the elements available
in the TETRIX PRIME system. Visit
www.TETRIXrobotics.com
to learn more about
the additional structural, motion, and accessory components that can be added to
your collection; to view support videos; and to download resources.
