Graphical Prgramming-mBlock
Wireless Communication
Introduction
mBlock is a free modified version of Scratch
2.0 developed by MIT Media Lab. Added
some hardware-related blocks based on
the original Scratch, mBlock enables users
to read sensors, control motors and even
the whole robot with ease.

1. Introduction of Bluetooth module
This Bluetooth module is designed specially for mCore with the support
of Bluetooth 2.0 and 4.0. It's suitable for both individual users and family.
Users can use their smart phones or computers to control the mBots
wirelessly with this module.
2. Introduction of 2.4G wireless serial
The 2.4G wireless serial includes two parts: 2.4G wireless serial-USB for
computer; 2.4G wireless serial-module for mCore. It uses the same
technology as wireless mouse and is very suitable for classroom. No
driver and pairing needed.

Arduino Programming(C language)
Electronic Modules on Makeblock--Further Exploration
Arduino is an open-source electronics prototyping platform based on flexible, easy-to-use hardware and software. The Arduino
software consists of a development environment(IDE) and the core libraries. The IDE is written in Java and based on the Processing
development environment.

Me 3-Axis
Accelerometer and Gyro
Sensor is used to measure
the angular rate and the
acceleration information of
your robot or other
devices. It is useful for
sumo robots to detect
bumps.

Me 7-Segment Display
is a display module
with four digits tube
which can show some
data....some data, such
as speed, time, score,
and etc.
Me Potentiometer can
convert rotary motion to
an analog input which
can be used to control the
speed of a mobile robot,
the brightness of RGB
LEDs, or others.
Me Joystick is
normally used to
control the moving
direction of object.

Me Sound Sensor
can measure the
volume.It can be
used in some
sound interactive
projects,such as
an voice operated
switch.
Me Temperature
Sensor is a stainless
steel tube sensor
which is used for
measuring
temperature.
Me PIR Motion
Sensor can detect
infrared ray which
derives from
animals/humans
within 19.7 feet (6
meters)
