 |
query for keyboard input | results stored in keyboard block |
 |
keyboard input | holds results of query-keyboard block |
 |
user-definable code | This block runs code found in the tamyblock.py module found in the Journal and editable in Pippy. Use the load Pippy button  on the Save/Load toolbar to load your custom module. The block changes appearance once Python code is loaded. 
|
 |
my function | a programmable block: add your own math equation in the block, e.g., sin(x) |
 |
horizontal size | the canvas width |
 |
vertical size | the canvas height |
 |
push | push value onto FILO (first-in last-out) heap |
 |
pop | pop value off FILO |
 |
show heap | show FILO in status block at bottom of canvas |
 |
empty heap | empty FILO |
These additional blocks are available in the experimental version of Turtle Art
 |
volume | microphone input volume |
 |
pitch | microphone input pitch |
 |
voltage | (OLPC XO-1 only) |
 |
resistance | (OLPC XO-1 only) |
More details on how to use the sensors can be found in Tony Forster's blog and on the Measure Activity page.
