Ready for a bigger Boe-Bot? Try mounting your Board of Education (with BASIC Stamp 2) on the Arlo! After a couple connections and a few simple tests, any Boe-Bot code will run. The time it takes for the Arlo to go distances and execute turns is different than a regular Boe-Bot, so you will have to adjust a few numbers in your programs, but after that the Arlo will run your classic Boe-Bot code like a pro.
- If you have not done so already, complete the Arlo Robot Assembly Guide tutorial, up to but not inlcuding the optional Top Deck Assembly.
- Download the BASIC Stamp Editor (Windows only) or Parallax IDE for Chrome programming environment.
- Grab your Board of Education with a BASIC Stamp 2 and its programming cable, then get started!
- NOTE: If you want a full copy of all PBASIC code presented in this tutorial, visit the download page to get a zip archive.
