Students will learn how the Hexi Carousel Bot can be controlled using two button modules. The teacher will first explain the concept and show how each button controls the direction of the motor.
Then, step-by-step, the children will connect the two button modules and motor to complete the circuit. When one button is pressed, the Hexi carousel rotates forward, and when the other button is pressed, the carousel rotates backward.
This lesson introduces the concept of controlling the Hexi Carousel Bot using button modules. It demonstrates how buttons can control the direction of a motor and change the movement of the carousel.
In this activity, the Hexi Carousel Bot is connected to a motor driver and two button modules. When one button is pressed, the Hexi carousel rotates forward, and when the other button is pressed, the carousel rotates backward, showing how buttons can control robot movement.
Through this activity, you will explore:
Basic understanding of buttons as control switches
How a motor driver controls motor direction
How simple controls can change robot movement
To build the button controlled Hexi Carousel Bot, the following materials are used:
