2. What can I do with the Lab?

Using the Lab, you will learn how to retrieve data from the environment by means of sensors, how to calibrate the sensors, how to process the information obtained, and how to use this information when writing programs. This special board, when connected to a computer, gives you access to external sensors and controlling devices. The Lab provides an opportunity to interact with the characters also known as sprites (in the programming environment), to manage the situation in the projects, or to learn about the world around without using the keyboard and mouse. With the help of Lab, you can learn how the keyboard works, how traffic light operates and how to make characters move by simply using your voice. In addition, the Lab can be used as a remote control for Robot kit!

4. Which device enables me to program the Lab?

The Lab can be programmed with a computer in the RobboScratch visual programming environment, using the USB-connection. The Lab is also programmable in Arduino IDE.

6. How do I start using the Lab for the first time?

Connect the Lab to your computer using the USB cable, and run the RobboScratch software.
