Lego Mindstorms EV3 Robotics Lesson 16 – Drawing a distance vs. time graph of the robot as it moves

By Magic Monk on Friday, December 7, 2018

In this lesson we talk about how to use the data logging block in the programming interface so you can program your robot to do other things (e.g. moving around) as it is logging data.

Lego Mindstorms EV3 Robotics Lesson 15 – Data Logging

By Magic Monk on Wednesday, December 5, 2018

In this lesson you learn how to use lego to record some ultrasonic sensor readings over a time period e.g. 15 seconds by using the experiment feature of the EV3 software. You then learn how to export this data to a CSV spreadsheet file which can then be opened in Microsoft Excel to do some …

Calculus lesson 12 – Product rule proof

By Magic Monk on Tuesday, December 4, 2018

In this lesson we discuss the proof of the product rule. You don’t need to know this for using the product rule to differentiate but it will be useful to have some background knowledge on how it was developed.

Lego Mindstorms EV3 Robotics Lesson 14 – Variables, Loop interrupt, Multiple starts

By Magic Monk on Monday, December 3, 2018

In this lesson we create a robot that randomly roams around the room and avoids obstacles using the ultrasonic sensor. We also cover the concepts below: – What is a variable and how to use it – How to interrupt / resume a loop – How to have multiple programs running (multiple start blocks)

Calculus lesson 11 – Product rule

By Magic Monk on Sunday, December 2, 2018

In this lesson you learn how to use the product rule to differentiate equations in the form of y = f * g. (the product of 2 functions). An example question would be: Differentiate y=(x+3)(x-2)

Lego Mindstorms EV3 Robotics Lesson 13 – Randomness

By Magic Monk on Sunday, December 2, 2018

In this lesson we learn how to make the robot roam randomly around the room, by generating a random number between -100 and 100 and assigning this number to the steering property in the Move steering block.

Calculus lesson 10 – Chain rule proof

By Magic Monk on Saturday, December 1, 2018

In this lesson you learn about how the chain rule is derived. Not necessary to apply the chain rule to differentiate but good background knowledge.

Lego Mindstorms EV3 Robotics Lesson 12 – Switch inside switch

By Magic Monk on Saturday, December 1, 2018

In this video I talk about how to place a switch block inside another switch block, so you can utilise two sensors together. I show you how to program a car that follows a line AND stops to make a horn noise whenever an object is blocking its path.
