This kit provides a comprehensive set of tools and resources to build and program interactive projects, promoting STEM education and creative problem-solving skills.Components and FeaturesThe MindPlus Coding Kit for Arduino includes:1. Arduino-compatible microcontroller board
2. Motor driver module
3. Bluetooth module
4. LCD display
5. Breadboard and jumper wires
6. Sensors (ultrasonic, infrared, and touch)
7. Motor and servo motor
8. Power supply and battery holderProgramming EnvironmentThe MindPlus Coding Kit for Arduino is compatible with the Arduino Integrated Development Environment (IDE). Users can write and upload code to the microcontroller board using the Arduino IDE.Code Examples### Example 1: Line Follower RobotIn this example, we will create a line follower robot using the MindPlus Coding Kit for Arduino.Hardware Requirements:MindPlus Coding Kit for Arduino board
Motor driver module
Motor
Infrared sensorsCode:
```c++
const int leftSensorPin = A0; // left infrared sensor pin
const int rightSensorPin = A1; // right infrared sensor pin
const int leftMotorPin = 2; // left motor pin
const int rightMotorPin = 3; // right motor pinvoid setup() {
pinMode(leftMotorPin, OUTPUT);
pinMode(rightMotorPin, OUTPUT);
}void loop() {
int leftSensorValue = analogRead(leftSensorPin);
int rightSensorValue = analogRead(rightSensorPin);if (leftSensorValue > 500 && rightSensorValue < 500) {
// turn left
digitalWrite(leftMotorPin, HIGH);
digitalWrite(rightMotorPin, LOW);
} else if (leftSensorValue < 500 && rightSensorValue > 500) {
// turn right
digitalWrite(leftMotorPin, LOW);
digitalWrite(rightMotorPin, HIGH);
} else {
// move forward
digitalWrite(leftMotorPin, HIGH);
digitalWrite(rightMotorPin, HIGH);
}
delay(50);
}
```
Explanation:This code reads the values from the infrared sensors and uses them to control the motors. When the left sensor detects a line, the robot turns left, and when the right sensor detects a line, the robot turns right. When both sensors detect a line, the robot moves forward.### Example 2: Bluetooth-Controlled Robot ArmIn this example, we will create a Bluetooth-controlled robot arm using the MindPlus Coding Kit for Arduino.Hardware Requirements:MindPlus Coding Kit for Arduino board
Bluetooth module
Servo motor
Breadboard and jumper wiresCode:
```c++
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>const int bluetoothTxPin = 2; // Bluetooth TX pin
const int bluetoothRxPin = 3; // Bluetooth RX pin
const int servoPin = 9; // servo motor pinSoftwareSerial bluetooth(bluetoothTxPin, bluetoothRxPin);void setup() {
bluetooth.begin(9600);
pinMode(servoPin, OUTPUT);
}void loop() {
if (bluetooth.available() > 0) {
char command = bluetooth.read();
if (command == 'u') {
// move servo up
servoWrite(servoPin, 0);
} else if (command == 'd') {
// move servo down
servoWrite(servoPin, 180);
}
}
}void servoWrite(int pin, int angle) {
int pulseWidth = map(angle, 0, 180, 500, 2500);
digitalWrite(pin, HIGH);
delayMicroseconds(pulseWidth);
digitalWrite(pin, LOW);
delay(20);
}
```
Explanation:This code establishes a Bluetooth connection and waits for commands from a remote device. When a command is received, the code controls the servo motor to move up or down. The `servoWrite` function generates the required pulse width modulation (PWM) signal to control the servo motor.These examples demonstrate the versatility of the MindPlus Coding Kit for Arduino and its potential applications in robotics, automation, and IoT projects.
