Hello World, My Name Is

Our home work over the weekend was to read chapter 3. In Chapter 3 you learn about using the display block in the programming software that we using when programming our robots. When using in the display block you will use the configuration panel for many functions like what is going to be projected on the LCD and how long you want it to be displayed. There is also a drawing tool that can be used the drawing tool can be use to draw anything from circles to lines which can also be place on the LCD screen on the NXT. The data hub was talked about to the data hub lets you draw data wires from one block to another it can carry numbers or text, makes life easier to.

  1. Thank you for your summary of Chapter 3. In your blog entry, aside from summarizing the reading from Chapter 3 and your anytime investigation, you need to also reflect on the following questions:

    * How can the Display block be used in a practical sense when you are designing, running, and testing programs?

    * How will you add sounds and displays to your future programs? What purposes will they serve?

    Will you add an additional post to your blog that completes the assignment? ~thanks!

  2. I like your summary of Chapter 3. You have summarized the Ch.3 easier, and more understandable.

    As you said, there are variety of ways to dispaly on the LCD screen.
    And I think, this varied ways, make the NXT more interesting, and creative.

    However, I think, you have not completed a task, given by Mr. Inskeep. I think, you shoul put the missing details in the post.

    (Missing details are mentioned by comment of Mr. Inskeep)

    Except that, I think your comment is really nice.

    I like it. :)
