These question are based on the activities we covered since the start of our work on the Boe-Bots.  Refer back to the classroom announcements for notes links if you have any trouble with the questions.

Draggable item		Corresponding Item

1

Mark the side of the Boe-Bot that we call the front of the robot.

What should you do if your robot wheels are moving when they are programmed to be still?

The Arduino on your Boe-Bot is always pulling power from the battery pack that is plugged into your robot, even when the slide switch is set to 0.

True

False

Match the power switch settings with their descriptions below.

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
1		No power to the shield, yes power to the Arduino
2		Power to the Arduino and the shield, but not the motors.
0		Power to the Arduino, the shield, and the motors.

The pin numbers shown on the Boe-Bot Shield receive their signals from the same numbered pins on the Arduino.

True

False

The pin numbers on the Boe-Bot Shield are not shared across different same numbered pins on the board.

True

False

Mark the side of the Boe-Bot that we call the front of the robot.

What lines of code are used to create servo variables that can be referenced throughout the rest of the program?

Which function is used to tell the program where the servos are plugged in on the digital input and output pins?

servo.attach();

servo.writeMicroseconds();

servo.detach();

Which function is used to stop the servo motors?

servo.writeMicroseconds();

servo.detach();

servo.attach();

Which function is used to set the speed of the servo motors?

servo.detach();

servo.writeMicroseconds();

servo.attach();

What should the robot be doing with the code listed below?

What should you do if your robot wheels are moving when they are programmed to be still?

Match the commands with the robot actions based on the following criteria:

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
servoLeft.writeMicroseconds(1700); servoRight.writeMicroseconds(1500);		Stop
servoLeft.writeMicroseconds(1500); servoRight.writeMicroseconds(1500);		Forward
servoLeft.writeMicroseconds(1700); servoRight.writeMicroseconds(1700);		Pivot
servoLeft.writeMicroseconds(1700); servoRight.writeMicroseconds(1300);		Rotate

Why do we use a tone at the beginning of our programs?

No real reason, Mr. Knauss is just making us use it.

To tell us if the robot is browning out or restarting its program over and over again.

It's cool to hear beeps
