4 STEM Programming AELOS can be not only used for fun, but also can lead you to the way of programming. For AELOS 1S, we’ve developed the matched AELOS STEM (hereinafter referred to as STEM) software which can allow you to learn Blockly programming while using the robot for fun.
Page 25
4.2 Create the first program Blockly is a visual programming editor launched by Google. You can use blocky graphic objects to construct applications. Each graphic object is a code block. You can build them together to create simple functions and combine a number of simple functions to build a program.
Page 26
We can see from the above figure that the STEM software has the following programming modules: Starting program:the trigger module to start a program. Control program, the module to realize circulation and branch jump. Mathematical program, the module to realize mathematical operation through custom variables.
Page 27
Fig. 4.2-3 A programming example Try for yourself according to the rules as shown in the above figure! After studying the above program and courses, we believe you have grasped the essentials of Blockly. Go to explore the mysteries of AELOS and Blockly programming! 21 22...
