പ്രവർത്തന നിർദ്ദേശങ്ങൾ

1. Basic Blue-Bot Operation (On-Board Buttons)

The Blue-Bot can be programmed directly using the buttons on its back:

• മുന്നോട്ടും പിന്നോട്ടുമുള്ള അമ്പടയാളങ്ങൾ: Move the Blue-Bot one step forward or backward.
• ഇടത്/വലത് അമ്പടയാളങ്ങൾ: Rotate the Blue-Bot 90 degrees left or right.
• Pause Button (||): Inserts a pause in the program.
• Clear (X) Button: Clears the current program sequence.
• Go Button: Executes the programmed sequence.

2. Programming with the TacTile Code Reader

The TacTile Code Reader offers an alternative and intuitive method for programming your Blue-Bot:

• Arrange Tiles: Select the desired TacTile programming cards (e.g., forward, turn, pause) and arrange them in the slots of the TacTile Code Reader in the sequence you want the Blue-Bot to follow.
• Execute Program: Once the tiles are arranged, press the "Go" button on the TacTile Code Reader. The Blue-Bot will then execute the program precisely as instructed by the tiles.
• Modify Program: If a mistake is made or you wish to change the program, simply rearrange or swap the tiles in the reader and press "Go" again.
