I just built a MBot Mega and although it runs well and we’ve had a good experience so far I’m worried about one thing… the educational sketch based software seems to only support the specific mix of h/w that comes with this Mega kit… it doesn’t come with the robot arm and many features supported within say this 2.0 or Ranger but that’s to be expected… what I was hoping for was a way to add a camera and robot arm and many other types of devices later but see no way to code them in this Scratch Block code since the extensions to add the library’s and access currently unused ports with different device types don’t seem to exist. I’m assuming I might be able to expand using the C in Arduino code but is there any way to Tailor the Sketch code to the add-on devices by just selecting say the Ultimate 2.0; device to code and plugging in a MBot Mega or Ranger instead and uploading what it compiles to a different robot type? Or, Can you create your own sketch code version tailored to the add on devices you want to add? What’s possible?
