|
## Duration: ~30 minutes
|
|
|
|
## Step 1: Calibrate servo
|
|
|
|
In order for the Milky Monster to move, the @boardname@ needs to command the servo to go between ``0`` and ``180`` degrees at a certain pace. In the code below:
|
|
- Press button ``A`` to switch the servo to 180 degrees (to close the mouth of Milky Monster).
|
|
- Press button ``B`` to switch the servo to 0 degrees (to open the mouth of Milky Monster).
|
|
|
|
```blocks
|
|
input.onButtonPressed(Button.A, () => {
|
|
pins.servoWritePin(AnalogPin.P0, 180)
|
|
basic.showNumber(180)
|
|
})
|
|
input.onButtonPressed(Button.B, () => {
|
|
pins.servoWritePin(AnalogPin.P0, 0)
|
|
basic.showNumber(0)
|
|
})
|
|
basic.showString("calibrate")
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Step 2: Attach rotor
|
|
|
|
The servo should be positioned at 180 degrees **before** attaching the rotor to it. This will make sure the mouth of the Milky Monster is closed once the servo reaches 180 degrees.
|
|
|
|
## ~ hint
|
|
|
|
You can use a philips screw driver to attach the rotor to the servo.

|
|
## Step 3: Check calibration
|
|
|
|
When the user presses ``A`` the servo rotor should be in 'up' position.

## Step 4: Connect cord to rotor
|
|
|
|
Connect the cord to the servo rotor while mouth of Milky Monster is **closed**.

|
## Step 5: Connect cables to @boardname@
|
|
|
|
Connect cables from @boardname@ to the servo and place the battery.

|
## Step 6: Code light sensor
|
|
|
|
Code the light sensor on the @boardname@ to control the servo.
|
|
|
|
```blocks
|
|
basic.forever(() => {
|
|
pins.servoWritePin(AnalogPin.P0, input.lightLevel())
|
|
led.plotBarGraph(
|
|
input.lightLevel(),
|
|
0
|
|
)
|
|
})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Step 6: Ready!
|
|
|
|
Your Milky Monster is ready!
