Basic Programming in Robo Pro

This week we have been working on basic programming. We are using the the computer program RoboPro, which allows you to easily create flowcharts that control the actions of a system. Here is a screenshot of our first program

This simple program starts and stops the motor for designated periods of time

Our first program included all the basic commands and was built in about 10 minutes. The little box that says "subprogram test" actually includes about 3 commands within it, allowing you to keep the work interface cleaner and organized.

This next screenshot is our second system which included a switch which terminated the program on activation. The system would loop for infinity until the open circuit was closed, allowing the program to end.

And of course an action shot to wrap up this activity:
