BlocklyMBED compiler
You can program your fanbot with your own program!
Just insert the Fanbot brain in your PC while you press it’s “nose” and you will see a USB disk appear.
Now make your program here: Blockly Fanbot Compiler page
Press “Compile” and save the “firmware.bin” file on your Fanbot. Unplug your fanbot USB, plug it back in and see your program in action. (Note: downloading the file only works under Windows, and a modern browser is required with JavaScript enabled).
The fanbot brain can do more!
There is an updated software version. The new updated software will allow your fanbot to move continuously, do random moves and smooth motion back and forth. See here how to install the new software on the brain.
