OpenRoberta / openroberta-lab

The programming environment »Open Roberta Lab« by Fraunhofer IAIS enables children and adolescents to program robots. A variety of different programming blocks are provided to program motors and sensors of the robot. Open Roberta Lab uses an approach of graphical programming so that beginners can seamlessly start coding. As a cloud-based application, the platform can be used without prior installation of specific software but runs in any popular browser, independent of operating system and device.

mBot: connecting via Bluetooth #750

Open Theaterfuchs opened 4 years ago

Theaterfuchs commented 4 years ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. It needs some steps to connect the pc and the mBot via USB using tokens etc.

Describe the solution you'd like I would like to transfer the programs from open.roberta to the mBot via bluetooth

Describe alternatives you've considered I looked for a radio-connecting USB-A connection. In effekt I would like to let the mBot on the floor while i am programming on the desk.

Additional context I have chosen the mBot for artificial reasons. He should appear on stage but look like a robot and not like a toy. Furthermore I want to deploy a lot of sensors wich the lego robots do not have notwithstanding the lego robots do connect better to the roberta eco system

mBot works like an Arduino Uno, that means the user programs are transferred completely to the robot. Currently it is not possible to do this via Bluetooth because of the limitations of the bootloader/firmware. AFAIK there is no solution, do you have an idea how this may work?

I had a look to wireless USB A to USB B connection. Finding such a thing I would attach the recieving unit on the mBot. "Bin am suchen am dran am sein…" [still searching…]

Combining this with the thing above. Maybe I will achieve it and test it.
