Sensor Melody Light Robot Sensor Calibration Some sensors may not function properly after you run the program for the first time. If the sensors are malfunctioning, calibrate the sensor settings. Click the sensor icon in the box and you can adjust the range settings in the condition box below. Drag the mouse left or right to adjust the range settings. Refer to the Condition Icon sections in 4.4. The Attribute Field of the Studuino Programming Environment Manual for more details.

Sensor Melody Light Robot Working with Arduino IDE You can use Arduino IDE to perform more complex tasks, such as making melodies play and lights flash at the same time or playing even longer songs. Under Use Arduino IDE, install the software for Windows or Macintosh from the URL below. ★ Proceed to Step 1 when software installation is complete. http://www.artec-kk.co.jp/studuino/ ① Connect the USB cable to the PC and the Studuino unit. Refer to 1.3 Studuino in Studuino Programming Environment Manual for more details. ② Download the program file SensorMelodyLightRobot̲2.ino from the URL below in the Robotist section. http://www.artec-kk.co.jp/robotist/ ③ Open the downloaded file. ④ Transfer the program to the Studuino unit by clicking the Transfer button . ⑤ Remove the USB cable from the Studuino unit. ⑥ How strongly the lights flash depends on the strength of the sound. ⑦ The light sensor in your robot will make the LEDs flash when it gets dark, and the buzzer will play music.

Sensor Melody Light Robot Adjusting Values in Arduino IDE You can change how strongly the sensors respond in a program by adjusting their value. ● Light Sensor Changing the value of "if (analogRead(LIGHT̲SENSOR̲PIN) < 400" in "loop()" will change the amount of light it will take for your robot to play a song. Changing the less than sign to a greater than sign will make your robot play songs when it's light rather than dark. This value can be from 0-1023.
