Programming Apps in Android with AppInventor 2 (AI2), also based on Blockly, so the students will be familiazired with the block programming style. It is a powerful tool that can be used in TIC courses with many applications. From designing user interfaces, basic programming skills, etc. Several exercises can be achieved to improve programming skills. In order to communicate with the robot, we have created an AI2 extension that give you access to several robot functionalities.

In our user interface proposa, you can easily send commands to control the LEDs matrix to express emotions, generate basic music notes, control robot movements either with a pad or with the accelerometer. You can select obstacle avoidance and line following modes too.

At the moment, we do not have full documented the use of AppInventor 2, but we provide screenshots of the user interface that we propose, as well as the AI2 extension for bluetooth communication.

Bluetooth commands are send based on specifications in here.

Here you have a QR code to install the app in your device:
