Gizmo!!!
Can the Gizmo be on while you upload code?
True or False
False
The section where you discuss off-season information
What is "Training"
This class controls a standard motor with a given range of 0 to 90 degrees.
What is the Servo class?
This sensor acts as a physical stop, signaling when a moving part has reached its endpoint to prevent over-travel
What is a limit switch?
Known as the first computer programmer, this mathematician wrote an algorithm for Charles Babbage's Analytical Engine in the 1800s
Who is Ada Lovelace?
The number of ports each for motors and servos on the gizmo
What is 4
This section is where we discuss what happened while running the code and what errors occurred.
What is "Testing and Verification"
What class is used to control continuous motors on the Gizmo, allowing for forward and reverse movement?
What is the ContinuousServo class?
This variable resistor is commonly used to measure angular or linear position by varying electrical resistance.
What is a potentiometer?
This language, created by Guido van Rossum in 1991, is named after a British comedy troupe
What is Python?
The gizmo driver station must be connected to two things. What are they?
What is the battery and the logitech controller
This section is where we discuss functions and arguments within the program.
What is "Programming Implementation"
This Gizmo object allows access to various buttons and axes on the gamepad, as well as the status of the robot's sensors and actuators.
What is the Gizmo() object?
This type of sensor detects objects, measures distance, or identifies heat signatures.
What is an IR Sensor?
This influential operating system, developmed in 1969 at Bell Labs, serves as the foundation for Linux and macOS
What is Unix?
There are three vital LED lights that change from time to time and determine whether gizmo will work correctly. What are they?
What is the Network, Field, and Battery Level
This section is where the algorithm flowchart is placed.
What is "Program Design"
This is the function used to convert the analog values of gamepad axes into values suitable for controlling motors, ranging from -1.0 to 1.0.
What is map_range()?
This sensor type measures linear or angular position changes and is commonly found in robotic arms.
What is an encoder?
This animal holds the record for the most time spent sleeping, snoozing for up to 22 hours a day.
What is a koala?
When connecting motors or servos they have three wires, but on the gizmo board there are four pin place holders. The pins that aren't in use and should NEVER be plugged into are...
What are the left most pins
This sentence: "it's defined using the Servo() function which requires four main arguments" belongs in what section.
What is "Programming Implementation"
This built-in library provides the necessary functions to handle PWM for coontrolling motor speed and servo position on the Gizmo platform.
What is pwmio?
This sensor uses lasers to measure distances with high precision, often used in self-driving cars for mapping surroundings.
What is a LiDAR sensor?
This is the placeholder name often used for a generic variable, originating from algebra and early programming.
What is foo?
