Money Box

money box

The money box. Insert a coin in the "mouth" of the box. When the coin has been grabbed, the box will nudge its adjacent friend, prompting it to bow as a thank you.

Before proceeding please make sure you've read the Edbot Dream Owner's Guide. This includes lots of useful information and some very important safety precautions. Following these safety precautions will keep you, your students and your Edbot Dream safe.

When you've finished building, you'll need to plug the Bluetooth module into the microcontroller. This will allow the Edbot Software to connect to the robot.

Make sure the Edbot Software is set up and running. Hold down the start button on the Edbot Dream microcontroller until the unit beeps twice. After a short time the robot should connect to the Edbot Software. Now it's time to code!

Scratch

To get you going we provide the dream_money_box project for Scratch 2.0 and 3.0 created automatically when you generate the Scratch sample projects using the Edbot Software.

Let's go!

Run the script. Place a coin in the "mouth" of the box. The centre IR sensor will detect it and the box will grab the coin! After a short delay the box will nudge its friend to bow as a thank you.
