Make With Python: Reprise of World Maker Faire 2017 Talk

Reprise of Tony D’s talk from World Maker Faire 2017 and Seattle Mini Maker Faire 2017, “Make With Python”. Learn about interesting hardware that you can program with the Python programming language. This talk describes what is the Python language and why you might want to use it instead of other languages or tools like Arduino. There are live demos of blinky things powered by Python code!  

VEX IQ Tip – Calibrating the Controller (Firmware v1.13+)

The VEX IQ Controller uses joysticks that may occasionally need to be calibrated for proper robot function. To access the controller calibration process, tether a Controller to a Robot Brain, press the “X” button on the Robot Brain home screen to access the settings menu, and select “Calibrate Controller.” Rotate each joystick 360 degrees.   Video updated in November 2014 to include instructions for Robot Brain Firmware v1.13 and Controller Firmware v1.04 (or higher).  

VEX IQ Tip – Mounting Small Hardware on Shafts

VEX IQ’s tool-free construction system enables users to attach and remove pieces without the need for additional tools. Sometimes, small gears or pulleys may seem difficult to mount onto shafts, but a little leverage is all that’s needed to get them on.  

VEX IQ Tip – How to Remove Connector Pins

VEX IQ’s tool-free construction system enables users to attach and remove pieces without the need for additional tools. Sometimes, connectors or pins can seem a bit tough to remove, but a little nudge from behind is all that’s needed to break them free.
