Activity No. 16: building a dancing robot (Vittascience Starter kit)

[iframe][/iframe]We will make a robot that moves as users pass by. You are free to personalize it with cardboard or any other accessories. 

Here is the connection to be made: 
- Connect the Shield Grove to the card connectors. 
- Connect, using the Grove cable, the servomotor to one of the available ports. We will choose port D6. Fix the plastic cross (called rudder) on the top of the servomotor.
- Connect the LED to one of the available ports. We will choose port D2.
- Connect the ultrasound module using the Grove cable to D8.
- Connect the buzzer to D3.

Now let's get to programming! 

The program we are going to create will trigger the movement of the servo motor (to make the robot arm move) when a person passes in front of the ultrasonic sensor.
The LED lights up in different colors and the buzzer emits a sound.

We are going to use several blocks:
- "if...then...else..." available in the Logic of the block locker. 
- "[Grove ultrasonic sensor] distance (cm) D8", available in the Sensors, to retrieve the module value.
- "[Servo motor] control angle at ...° on pin D6", available in the Actuators of the block locker.
- "[Neopixel] control all LEDs at ... on pin D2", available in the Display.
- "[Buzzer/Speaker] play frequency...during...on D3", available in the Actuators of the blocks locker.




Use the following interface to create the program: 




Launch the simulator to check the correct execution of your program or download it to the card. 

You succeeded ? Perfect, you now know how to program a dancing robot using your NUCLEO-L476RG board!
