PictoBlox Blocks

The block initializes the Expansion Board of Quarky for use. Without initialization, the board will not respond to any other blocks.

The block sets the servo motor connected to the specified servo pin of the Quarky Expansion board to the specified angle. The expansion board can control 8 servos at a time.

The block sets the analog state of the specified pin to the specified value between 0 to 255.

The block sets the specified motor of the Quarky Expansion board to the specified direction (“FORWARD” or “BACKWARD”) and specified speed.

The block sets the specified motor of the Quarky Expansion board to the specified direction (“FORWARD” or “BACKWARD”) and specified speed for the specified time. After that, the robot turns OFF.

The block stops the specified motor of the Quarky.

The block reverses the forward direction of the specified motor of the Quarky Expansion Board.
