Handleiding

GETTING STARTED

There are four primary types of functional components in this kit

that enable the robots to work:

A. The Bluetooth baery box connects to the app on your tablet or

smartphone via a wireless Bluetooth connection. It provides

power to the motors and receives input from the sound sensor

via wires.

B. The motor units connect to axles and motor shafts to turn gears

and wheels, activating your models. They are powered by the

baery box.

C. The sound sensor — like an ear — has a membrane inside it that

allows it to convert vibrations in the air (sound) into electrical

signals. Speciﬁcally, it is an omni-directional electret condenser

microphone. It is calibrated to receive a speciﬁc intensity

(loudness) of sound. When it detects sound in this range (hands

clapping), it triggers the programmed action.

D. The app is the “brain” of your robotic models. It uses the input

from the sound sensor and the program instructions to control

the models.

These four elements, in combination with all the mechanical parts

— rods, gears, axles, shell pieces, and so on — allow you to build

and program mechanical robots that can perform diﬀerent actions

based on the number of high-decibel (loud) sounds that the sound

sensor detects when a program is running.

Super Sphere

Geing started with the Super Sphere:

We suggest you read and follow the instructions in this

manual in order. But here is an overview of the

instructions for building and using the Super Sphere to get

you oriented:

1. Download the app following the instructions on

page 7.

2. Follow the assembly instructions on page 14 to build

the ﬁrst model, the Super Sphere. Make sure you have

inserted the baeries into the Bluetooth baery box

correctly according to the instructions on page 2.

3. Shake the model until the blue light on the Bluetooth

baery box turns on, indicating that the module is on.

The module automatically turns oﬀ after about a

minute of inactivity to save baery power. You simply

have to jiggle the model when you want to turn it on

again. It’s a movement-activated on-oﬀ switch!

4. Now you can connect the tablet or smartphone to the

model via the free app. Follow the instructions at the

boom of page 7.

5. To drive the Super Sphere in remote control mode,

follow the instructions on page 8 and the driving tips on

pages 22–23.

6. To run a program on the Super Sphere, follow the

instructions on page 24. For detailed explanations of

how the programming mode of the app works, refer to

pages 9–13. Try editing the program for Super Sphere, or

writing your own from scratch.

7. Now, proceed with building the other models, one at a

time, and running the sample programs given on the

programming page found after the assembly

instructions for each model.
