Introduction to the electronic and non-electronic parts of the BOOST kit
Let's first understand the various electronic parts given in the LEGO BOOST kit with specific functionality:
- BOOST Hub: This hub is the brain of your robot (the microprocessor of the hub serves as the brain). The hub is connected to your tablet via Bluetooth. The hub has two built-in motors (motor A and motor B) as well as an built-in tilt (gyro) sensor. It needs six AAA-sized batteries to operate. It also has two input/output ports:
- Interactive motor: The interactive motor comes with an built-in rotation sensor. This allows us to check the number of rotations/the speed at which the motor is moving. This feature also allows us to add precision to the robot's programming; for example, you can move forward or backward for a specific distance/rotation, allowing the same stopping position of the robot each time:
