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.

+

'''NOTE''': As of Version 193, it is necessary to use a set of refactored plugins. These will be posted to the wiki ASAP.

===How to install a plugin===

Line 50: Line 52:

====Pattern detection====

+

Add a palette to enable pattern detection with the camera.

+

[[File:PatternDetectionPalette.png]]

+

Translation:

+

* "Viendo Señal": Pattern in sight

+

* "Distancia Señal" Pattern distance

+

This palette adds blocks to detect ARToolkit patterns and the distance to them. This plugin is an ARToolkit wrapper, and comes with several traffic signals already configured.

+

=====Examples=====

+

Here are some samples and videos on how to use the palette blocks.

====Arduino====

+

The Arduino is an inexpensive single board computer which can be controlled by Turtle Art and used for robotics experiments. The XO-4 touchscreen laptop comes with two unpopulated circuit boards, the [http://wiki.laptop.org/go/XO_Stick XOstick] and the [http://wiki.laptop.org/go/XOrduino XOrduino].

The Arduino Plugin:

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:

+

* density: set the object density (0 is light; 1 is heavy)

+

* friction: set the object friction (0 is slippery; 1 is sticky)

+

* bounciness: set the object restitution (0 is rigid; 1 is bouncy)

* 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

Line 236: Line 299:

* 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

+

* gear radius: returns the radius of a gear with the number of teeth as the argument (useful for positioning gears)

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

−

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

+

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

+

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

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

−

* density: set the object density (0 is light; 1 is heavy)

−

* friction: set the object friction (0 is slippery; 1 is sticky)

−

* bounciness: set the object restitution (0 is rigid; 1 is bouncy)

* 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.
