Scratch can connect to some real world hardware. Some of the features are natively built in, while some are added through an extension or modification. Below is a list of hardware that Scratch can connect to: A diagram of a PicoBoard. A PicoBoard is a piece of electronic equipment that allows Scratch projects to interact with the outside world. It can sense light and sound, along with having a button and slider, and alligator clips. It is used with the () Sensor Value and Sensor ()? The LEGO Education WeDo Robotics Kit is a simple robotics tool designed for ages 7–11. It allows users to design their own robots, and then program the robots using drag-and-drop software like Scratch. In Scratch, the Motor Blocks can control the robot's motor, turning it on or off, changing the power or direction. With the GoPiGo you can control a Raspberry Pi robot with Scratch Programming. Scratch can be used to control the robot motors, LEDs, and sensors. If a microphone is connected to the computer, Scratch can sense the volume of the sound from the microphone, on a scale of 0-100.
If no microphone is connected, it is 0 or -1. The Loudness block contains the value. In Scratch 2.0, a new feature was added that allows Scratchers to use Microsoft Kinect-like features in Scratch. The video feed can be shown on the stage (with transparency), and the motion of the video can be obtained as well. The GrovePi The Dexter Industries GrovePi is an Internet of Things device built on the Raspberry Pi. Scratch can be used to control LEDs, and read sensors like an ultrasonic sensor, noise sensor, and light sensor. With the JoyTail extension, Scratch can use remote sensor connections to connect to a joystick. With the Catenary extension, an Arduino board can be controlled through Scratch. This project was being made by Chalkmarrow, but never seems to have been completed. LEGO Mindstorms NXT is a programmable robotics kit released by LEGO in late July 2006, as a successor to the now obsolete RCX kit. The main component in the kit is a brick-shaped computer called the NXT Intelligent Brick.
The Scratch modification Enchanting can be used to program LEGO NXT robots. Finch is a small simple robot for computer science education designed by Carnegie Mellon's CREATE lab. It is powered via a USB cable. It can be easily connected to Scratch via a helper application, the "BirdBrain Robot Server". Hummingbird is a robot created for education in 2010 by BirdBrain Technologies. It is powered via a USB cable. Like the Finch, it is easily connected to Scratch via BirdBrain Robot Server.Hot Wheels AI Racing Starter PlaysetThis item ships for free.* BatteriesDuracell Coppertop AA Size Battery - 8-Pack$8.99Duracell Coppertop AAA Size Battery - 16-Pack$10.99 Hot Wheels AI Intelligent Race System Starter Kit Rev your engine for the ultimate Hot Wheels racing experience with the Hot Wheels AI Intelligent Race System Starter Kit.
