Drag the file you have just saved to the bottom left, following the arrow. 6. Click ‘Of’ when upload pop - ups appears. 7. Once uploaded, the Upload successful message opens . Clicf ‘Of’. SCRATCH BUILDER 28 8. Remove the cable connected to the robot. 9. Direct a registered remote to the robot and press the stop

24 button. (When you push the button, the
button. (When you push the button, the ringing sound plays). 10. Direct registered remote to the robot and press #+4. 11. With the ringing sound, coding begins. 12. If you have coded an infinite loop, press #+Stop to end coding. (When the coding ends, it beeps). How to change the font size on Scratch 1) Hold the shift button on the keyboard and click the globe icon to open a hidden function (set font size). 2) Select the font size to 11 to make the font bigge

Sometimes, the text inside the blocks are so small on the Scratch screen that it’s difficult to red. Let’s lern how to change the font size for texts inside the blocks.

We need this blocf to secure enough time while ‘Mutton ’ (Stnd ) is in ction. 5) ‘Mutton ’ motion reyuires bout 2 seconds. Not to interrupt the next blocf, use ‘Wit ( ) secs’ blocf to secure enough time. 3 seconds re better thn 2 seconds for stbility. 6)

Put down RQ - HUNO as shown in the picture and click the Scratch block. RQ - HUNO then stands up from its lying position. Now that RQ - HUNO stood up. Let’s mfe it wlf. SCRATCH BUILDER 33 7) The block below will make RQ - HUNO stands up and takes a step forward. 8) Select ‘Repet’ blocf from ‘Control’ section, then plce it bove the ‘Cll motions button ↑’ block. Then change the time to 3. Let’s m

fe RQ - HUNO walk further! Let’s run the code and see what happens. When the Scratch block is running, a yellow band forms around the blocks. When the yellow band is gone, it means the Scratch block motion has ended. TIPS! SCRATCH BUILDER 34 9) Put down RQ - HUNO as shown in the picture and click the Scratch block. RQ - HUNO stands up and takes 3 steps forward. 10) To play a melody while RQ - HUNO is in motion, let’s use ‘Sound on/ off’ b

31 locfs from ‘More blocfs’. 11) Put d
locfs from ‘More blocfs’. 11) Put down RQ - HUNO as shown in the picture and click the Scratch block. RQ - HUNO stands up and takes 3 steps and the melody plays. Once the motion has been completed, the melody also stops. This time, we are going to make a melody play while RQ – HUNO is in motion and stop when all motions are finished SCRATCH BUILDER 35 12) The Scratch blocks below is for making RQ - HUNO stand up when it falls face down (Stand B)

Once the motion has been completed, the melody also stops. 2. How to make RQ - HUNO stand up when it hears a voice. 1) Let’s mfe Scrtch blocfs s shown in the picture below. Use the sme blocks from previous chapter. Use the same blocks we made from the chapter 1.

SCRATCH BUILDER 36 2) Srg ‘Sound sensor’ blocf with the mouse to insert into . 3) Enter 50 s the bsic sound volume in the blnf. This mens ‘The vlue of detected sound is greter thn 50’. From ‘More Mlocfs’, checf , then

will appear on the top left stage. If the robot’s power is on and the communication connection has been made properly, the volume of sound around the robot is displayed with a number. When using the sound detection function in Scratch, check the volume of sound measured before setting a basic value. For example, if the volume of sound measured is 60, set the basic value to 50 for stable sound detection. In other words, it is better to set the basic value

35 a slightly lower than the actual measure
a slightly lower than the actual measurement. For reference, the sensor values for the sensors other than Sound sensor block will not appear immediately. TIPS! SCRATCH BUILDER 37 4) Select ‘If then’ blocf from Control blocfs to mfe blocfs s below. It is the prt tht sys ‘If the vlue of sound mesured is greter thn 50, then execute XXXX.’ Drag the conditional phrase block to cover t

Use ‘Forever’ blocf from Condition block section to repeat specific blocks infinitely. You can not detect sound only with . You will need a conditional block. Condition

SCRATCH BUILDER 38 6) Lstly, plce ‘Wit ( ) secs ’ blocf under ‘Sound off’ blocf, then put 1 second in the blnf 7) Put down RQ - HUNO as shown in the picture and click the Scratch block. When you click, it does not do nything. Mut when you shout, “Wfe up”., or clp to mfe some noise, RQ - HUNO stand

If there is no ‘Wit 1 secs’ blocf, the program starts from the beginning as soon as the sound is turned off with ‘Sound off’ blocf, then it cn detect the sound from robot moving. That is why it waits for one second after the sound is
