Finch Robot Class L4 How do I… ? LED color (Range 0 to 100)
(check off as you complete each task below) LED color (Range 0 to 100) Change the nose color to Red Green Blue Yellow (red and green at 50, blue at 0) Turn off the color Other ??? Motion Finch (Range -100 to 100) Forward Backward Turn to left Turn to right Make a stop Finch program Sound (range 20-20,000) Change the pitch of the sound Make the Finch Speak Sensors Check the temperature Light sensors (Range 0 to 100 (0 darkness) Obstacle sensors (Detects object 1-4" )

2. Create programs that will use your arrow keys to control your Finch
Include a feature that will change your Finch’s beak when it changes direction Include a Stop Finch program(it will stop the Finch from moving and turn off the beak) Write your blocks in here

Light. The Finch uses two photoresistors to detect ambient light levels. These sensors are analog with 8 bits of resolution and can easily differentiate sunny and cloudy days and brightness of various indoor light sources. These sensors are commonly used as either input devices or to allow the Finch to track towards or away from light sources. Temperature. The Finch has a single thermistor sensor that detects the ambient temperature. The sensor can also determine the temperature of an object if the object is placed in contact with the sensor. The temperature sensor is accurate to within 2 degrees Fahrenheit. Obstacle Detection. The Finch has two Infrared sensors. These sensors can detect obstacles in front of the Finch. The sensors are digital and so act as virtual bumpers - they do not provide information on the distance to an obstacle, but simply register whether an obstacle exists. The sensor detection range is between 3 and 12 inches. Due to the limitations of this type of sensor very narrow objects or objects made of certain black plastics may not register as obstacles. Accelerometers. The Finch uses a Freescale MMA7660FC 3-axis MEMS accelerometer to detect acceleration. The sensor can detect accelerations of +/- 1.5 gees. The primary use of the accelerometer is to detect the direction of gravity, so as to know how the Finch is oriented (flat on the ground, upright, etc). It is also possible to detect spikes in acceleration caused by tapping or shaking the Finch.
