Activities/Turtle Art/Plugins: Difference between revisions

The plugin mechanism is currently used to provide support for sensors, the camera, RFID, and the Media, Extras, and Portfolio palettes. A plugin has been [http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/iaep/2011-March/012715.html developed for WeDo] [http://tonyforster.blogspot.com/2012/01/wedo-plugin-for-turtle-art.html (and here)] and additional plugins are being developed for Arduino, NXT, and GoGo.

===How to install a plugin===

* turtleart-sensors  

* rfid (This plugin allows interfacing with a RFID reader)

====Butia====

:We have released the 1.0 version of the sources, which has full integration with tortugarte (http://www.fing.edu.uy/inco/proyectos/butia/publicaciones.html). Last month we gave away nearly 30 Butiá robots in a robotic event organized by the University. These robots were given to secondary schools throughout the country, in this event we gave some tutorials and exercises to do with our help. One of the schools made a great line follower in tortugarte ;) : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Szp0LWLyPIg Then on the second day we give some tutorials and some children really enjoyed the experience, like Pedro a 10 year old child who really has programming skills! http://www.flickr.com/photos/butiarobot/5059177334/ http://www.youtube.com/aguirrea#p/u/7/p0y11iyhFko  

:In future months we will go to the schools where we give the robots to continue teaching and giving new challenges. If you would like to see more about Butiá, we have a flickr site: http://www.flickr.com/photos/butiarobot/ and also a web page: http://www.fing.edu.uy/inco/proyectos/butia  

Butiá is also featured in a short film by Antel [http://www.adinettv.com.uy/video/2932] (go to 1:30).

====WeDo====

* [[File:Wedo_plugin_2.tar.gz]] Version 2, which supports multiple WeDo devices.

'''Note:''' Check out https://github.com/itdaniher/WeDoMore/tree/master/udev for instructions on how to setup the proper permissions talk to the device. In the new versions of Sugar the udev is included.

Use these blocks to create objects that are added to the bodylist and jointlist of a Box2d database used by the Physics Activity. Objects are positioned by the turtle x,y and colored based on the current pen attributes. From left to right:

* start polygon: use the current turtle x,y position to specify the first vertex of a polygon

* add point: use the current turtle x,y position to add a vertex to a polygon

* rectangle: add a rectangle object at the current turtle x,y position

* gear: add a gear object at the current turtle x,y position with the number of teeth as the argument

* motor: add a motor at the current turtle x,y position (attached to the object at this position)

* joint: add a joint between the object at the current turtle x,y position and the object at x, y

* save as Physics project: save the current bodylist and jointlist as a Physics project in the Journal

'''Note:''' The current model is cleared whenever the Erase button is pressed or a Clean block is run.
