First: I am loving the Crumble! Among many reasons:
a) simple motor control
b) PLUS simple servo control in the same ‘recipe'(?) as (a)
c) Fun with Sparkles!
d) easy options for connections.
e) All for £10 ex VAT – less than many ‘shields’ for Arduino and Pi and about the same as extensions to the MICROBIT
Because of the above, I am hoping to be able to design a buggy to carry a robot arm such as the Me-Arm which uses four micro servos.
Request 1
Can the boxes change colour as they operate, or have a little dot or flag next to them as the programs runs? Perhaps have a kind of ‘debug mode’ which can step through the ‘recipe’/ programme as the user presses the space bar? I see there is feedback when connected by USB as sensor variables show values on the PC.
Big ask 2
Context, I am thinking of using Crumble in KS3. If possible, can the programming be done in a recognised text based language such as BASIC or Python?
Whopping great big mega ask?
Can you develop a Double Crumble please? That is, double the GPIO and Motor and Sparkle Ports
.
