The Scribbler 2 Robot (S2) is pre-programmed with eight demo modes, including light-seeking, object detection, object avoidance, and line-following, and if you place a Sharpie marker in the pen port, the Scribbler will draw as it drives!
The S2 can be reprogrammed with the S2 GUI (Graphical User Interface) or with Parallax’s BASIC-like Spin language using the Propeller Tool code editor. It features a multi-core Propeller microcontroller, which means that different Spin subroutines can run concurrently. Controlling motors, managing sensors, and interfacing with the hacker port can all be done at the same time, even while playing sound; the Propeller makes it all possible!
| Program with GraphicsThe S2 GUI (Graphical User Interface) uses pictures instead of words to build programs to control the S2’s motors, lights, and sensors, and even play music on its speaker. Point and click to select different tiles, place them in your program, and set their actions. Fun for new roboticists, but powerful enough to keep even experienced programmers engaged. | ||
| Program with TextText-based programs for your S2 Robot can be written with the Propeller Tool code editor. Propeller’s multi-processing capability allows more direct control over the motors, sensors, speaker and lights. Parallax tools support Spin or assembly language under a Windows platform, but other suppliers offer C or PropBASIC on Mac, PC or Linux operating systems. Programming the S2 directly with the Propeller Tool Code Editor gives access to the hacker port which can be used for RF devices, ultrasonic sensors, passive infrared sensors and anything else you wish to attach or power from your S2 robot. |
