Send our Robot in to space alongside the Moon
Start up LEGO MindStorms EV3 so we can send commands to our Robot
Left-click on File
Left-click on New Project
Make sure the Green rectangle is raised
Go to the Move Tank option
(the middle of the seven options)
Left-click and drag the image to the command line
This is our first command to send to our Robot
This is set for wheel Rotations
Let us change the wheel rotations to two -
I'm guessing this is the distance to the Moon
Next cut the speed of both motors back to fifty percent
so the robot moves slowly enough for us to see what it is doing...
So our Robot will be going past the Moon at about half speed in both motors
for a distance of two wheel rotations
and it will pause after doing this
Next we want to test this command by downloading it to our Robot
Connect our EV3 and turn it on...
The EV3 is red, so we can download our Command.
Left-click on the top download button
The command has now been sent down into our Robot
We can start up our Robot
And we will hopefully get a run that looks like this...
Good!
