Create new Control Robot Outputs pop up

jenncross commented 7 years ago

Similar to #208 and #210 from a discussion with @ehamner and @tasota

Create a new pop-up for "remote controlling" the robot's output during construction and testing.

1) Allow students to directly control servo position (sliders & maybe angle position indicators if there is room), LED color (color palette pop-up) and buzzer tone & volume (sliders & note indicator). 2) Use the "blocks" mode 3) Preserve existing links and sensor type in firmware 4) Add a button to the robot tab ("Control Robot Outputs")

Molly - could you please design a screen for this purpose? A rough sketch is below but the layout, spacing, and relative size needs some consideration.

(just a dev note)

Use the "blocks" mode

Preserve existing links and sensor type in firmware

This means setting output values directly in the protocol as opposed to creating links. Double-check with @JSchapiro but this should be safe to override links for output values until you clear the value and it will behave normally again.
