Guía en español de robótica / Spanish robotics guide

RobotGroup ha publicado hoy una guía de robótica básica con actividades en Arduino y en Minibloq. Todas las actividades están hechas con el robot Multiplo N6, pero son válidas en general para cualquier robot con tracción diferencial y un controlador compatible con Arduino (en este caso el N6 utiliza el DuinoBot de RobotGroup).  La guía puede descargarse del siguiente link:

Las primeras páginas están destinadas sobre todo a la instalación de los drivers, el software, etc., pero luego pueden encontrarse 23 actividades, que incluyen código y concisas explicaciones teóricas.

Tutorials and posts in different languages, thanks!

We are happy to see posts and tutorials about Minibloq in different languages. And as we did before, we want to say thanks and mention some of them here.

• Antonio, from Spain has been writing tutorials in Gallego (Galician). You can take a look to his very interesting educational website here.

• Gijs from the Netherlands has wrote both a post in his blog, and an entry about Minibloq in the Dutch version of Wikipedia. Gijs is also hosting the Dutch mirror to download Minibloq.

• Here is another post from the Netherlands, but in English (thanks Walter!):  http://waprile.weblog.tudelft.nl/2011/12/07/minibloq-a-visual-programming-editor-for

• And finally, a post from Germany, in German:   http://www.robodino.de/Schlagwort/minibloq

Thanks!

Minibloq & Sparkfun Inventor's Kit for Arduino

There is new material ready-for-use, created by Sparkfun (thanks Linz!) using Minibloq and the Sparkfun Inventor's Kit for Arduino. Currently there are 7 new examples, which include nice printable guides, both in pdf and odt (LibreOffice) file formats, under a Creative Commons Attribution -ShareAlike (CC BY-SA) license. Also, each example includes the Minibloq code (mbqc file). You can download a complete package with all the examples from this link (~ 2 MB). Once you have downloaded and decompressed it, you will find the printable guides under the /Doc subdirectory, on each example's subdir.
