Lego
has launched a new version of Mindstorms and it is available in two flavours -
Lego Spike Prime for education and Lego Robot Inventor for home
use.
I
have recently purchased the 51515 Robot Inventor set and thought rather than
storing all of my notes in MS OneNote for my own private use, I might as well
share them on a blog for all to see. Although my notes will be specifically
about the Robot Inventor set, most of them will also be relevant to the Spike
Prime Education set, especially those relating to programming in Scratch and
Python.
I
am currently working through building and experimenting with the 5 standard robots
but have already started to code some of the supplied programs in Python.
A
bit about myself. I have been programming (as a hobby) for over 30 years, and more
recently as a Computer Science / ICT Teacher have taught Scratch and Python to
secondary school students for over 10 years. Whilst teaching I have also worked
with Mindstorms NXT and EV3.
Initially,
I want to focus on the programming side of things, as most of us can build Lego
without much help! But I do have a
couple of ideas for future builds so might document them as well.
If you have any suggestions for future topics to be covered, please use the comments below.
