These devices currently include BBC micro:bit, PicoBoard, Sphero, Ollie, BB8, SBrick and LEGO Boost, WeDo, WeDo 2.0, NXT and EV3.įor more information please read the Quickstart guides below. S2Bot allows Scratch (and Snap!) to control various ‘real-life’ robotics systems in real-time. When you are ready to remove the computer and run the program by itself remotely, you can simply convert your Scratch program into PICAXE code and download it into the PICAXE project board.įor further details on S2P please click here.
S2P allows PICAXE microcontroller programs to be run and tested in real time using Scratch, interacting with real-life inputs and outputs as the Scratch project runs on screen. We also have a few WeDo 2.0 (bluetooth) hubs and BLED112 dongles available for training courses. Interface Set: 10 PICAXE-40X2 Interfaces.Model Set: 8 Lego WeDo models (crane, fairground ride, giant etc.).Croc Set B: 15 crossbred multi colour crocodiles/alligators.Croc Set A: 15 purebred single colour crocodiles/alligators.We also have the following interfaces and Lego WeDo items available to loan to local primary schools / coding clubs when we are not using them (due to their fragile nature we do not ship, you must be able to pickup and return to our offices at BA2 8SF in person): 15 of these are each a different single Lego colour ‘purebred’ reptile (yes, BrickLink is highly addictive)!
They will also run on many older computer systems still found in schools that can’t be upgraded, such as MacBooks running 10.6.8 or older PCs running Windows XP.Īnd, in case you were wondering about the picture, we have a congregation of over 30 Lego alligators (or is that a bask of over 30 crocodiles?) that are used in our Scratch primary teacher training days and Scratch coding clubs. The app version will also run on Chromebooks. The helper is cross compiled and so available for Windows, Mac and Linux.
They are complete, self-contained programs and therefore ideal for remote installation via traditional methods (e.g. These apps do not require any special builds, modified firmware or technical software knowledge. The helper apps were specifically designed for use by non-specialist teaching staff and students in schools, however private home users are also most welcome to use them. Both helper apps were developed following direct requests for assistance from the local primary schools and after school coding clubs we work with. They were primarily designed to be used with the offline version of Scratch 2, but will also work with Snap!. Now supporting many new Bluetooth modules / robots like LEGO Boost and BBC micro:bit!Īs part of Rev-Ed’s local primary school outreach programme we have developed 2 free helper apps to allow control of robotics systems from Scratch 2 or Snap!.
