Robotic Arm Tank

#1

Hello.

How can I get the original program loaded back on my robot. After loading other programs to the robot we made using scratch the program we loaded on my smart phone no longer works properly to control the Robotic Tank Arm. I found and loaded the default program form the MBlock software I loaded on my PC but motors 3 and 4 for the gripper and its up and down motion no longer work, only m1 and m2 for fwd and back.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Randy

Under the Connect menu in mBlock there is a Reset Default Program option. To use it you must be connected via USB.

Hi Randy, in your case, you need to upload firmware to Ultimate to get smart phone control. You can follow the instruction from http://learn.makeblock.com/ultimate-robot-kit/ (FAQ>Upgrading Firmware)

Thanks this helped, I finally got the tank working using my iphone 5 to control. I really would like to see the code in mBlock, any idea how to see this original code in mBlock, so I can program additional functionality my kids. Do I need a project, or can I convert the default .ino into a mBlock project somehow?

I’ve noticed that the motors work, but not enough juice to move it, only when I have the tank up on cinder blocks.

You can find the code for the underlying libraries at this link. The mBlock source can be found at this link.
