HOW TO DOWNLOAD THE FREE APP:
To install your app, you will need access to Google Play or the Apple App Store. Ask
your parents or adult supervisor for help installing the app.
If your device runs on Android, open Google Play. Open the App Store with an iPhone or
iPad. Just enter the search term CodeGamer and install the app.
You will need your four sensorbots to play the game.
They are very handy for helping to clear obstacles out of
your way in the game. You can simply insert them into
your gamepad (see picture). As soon as you have inserted
a sensorbot, your game character will turn into one of the
four bots. Each one has its own special abilities. If you
have inserted the blue "Newton" bot, for example, you will
have to shake your gamepad vigorously back and forth to
activate its abilities. We will let you find out on your own
how to activate the special abilities of the other
sensorbots.
Play the game once through and take a look at the other
contents of the app in the main menu. You will find a lot
there about your experiment kit and the topic of
programming.
We hope you have a lot of fun experimenting with code!
The World of the
Microcontroller

there are countless microcontrollers going about their
work unnoticed. There's hardly any electronic device that
works without a microcontroller — an electrical
toothbrush, the remote control for your TV, the controller
for your video gaming system, a digital thermometer, a
talking doll, a barking toy dog, the washing machine, the
smoke detector, the toaster, and so on ...
