What's different about Nervous Bird?

#1

I have lots of questions on the Nervous Bird:

  1. I notice in the instructions that Nervous Bird has limited access to programming blocks. Is this because there are fewer sensors installed? What are the limitations?

  2. How does the model know that it’s a Nervous Bird; i.e. fire the gyro balancing vs. Ranger or Raptor where no gyro balancing is needed?

I ask because (as my first model), it just does not behave the way I expect. I can drive it around with the app, I can control lights & sounds with programming blocks, but I cannot get it to move / run with programming blocks.

Hi Barthrh,

Duo to it is dificult to achieve the self-balance when graphical program for the robot, so you can’t program the Nervous bird through mBlock to drive it. The nervous bird can only be played with its default firmware. If you want program it with Arduino software, it may be possible but should be complex.
When you play it with App, choose the nervous bird project, the APP can recognise it with special firmware for it.

Thanks for the information.

How does mBlock know that the model is the Nervous Bird? Apart from building it, I didn’t upload anything special.

Hi Barthrh,

The mBlock doesn’t know that while the Makeblock APP does after you chosen the Nervous Bird project.
