MEET BRIKO BLOCKS
In this tutorial you will learn to program by using Briko blocks. This type of programming is very simple, all you have to do is drag the different programming blocks and put them together to form a puzzle. The overall appearance of the program is as follows:
Workspace: The place where we will build our program blocks. Blocks Programming: We going to use these blocks to give structure to our code, we find them in the top section of the menu on the left. These blocks are divided into 5 categories: Logic: Here you will find the blocks that make decisions using structures, such as "if" and "switch". Control: Blocks that control the duration of action using structures, such as "for" and "while". Mathematics: All blocks related to numbers and mathematical operations such as addition, subtraction or even more advanced as a cosine are going to be found here. Variables: Here you will find the necessary variables to use in your code, ie words that take the value of something, either a number or a sensor measurement. Functions: The blocks to create your own functions are here. Briko blocks: These blocks are what we use to control the different brikos. They are located in the section below the menu on the left.
Toolbar: Here you can find all the brikoblock tools:
Blocks: Use this menu to return to the program in blocks. Brikode:Use this menu to see the writing that you are creating when programming block code. Delete: Delete all blocks in the work area. Save: Save the code on your computer: -Save brikode code: Save your written code, this code can not be opened by brikoblocks but by "brikode" programming software written for Briko. -Save code blocks: . Save the block code you created Open : Open a code you have saved on your computer. Tools: Serial -Monitor: Opens a new window where you can see the messages sent to the BK7 controller to the computer (with or bk7print bk7write functions). -Plotter Serial: Lets graphed on the computer values ​​sent by the BK7. Options: -Search: Locate the BK7 on your computer so you can program it , by pressing on the word "COM #" should appear in the white winged box options. -Load: Once you used the button "search" use load to send the code to your BK7. -Resetear: use to reset your project from your computer. -Recover: If after several attempts to use the search button fails to locate COM, BK7 is likely to have disconnected your Briko, which can cause problems was loaded. Follow the steps in the next video to recover your BK7.
