It's time to program your ActivityBot! If you have done the prerequisite tutorials listed on the first page of this online book, then you already have some experience with programming your Propeller Activity Board with BlocklyProp Solo. If not, you must get that done before moving forward. Here are the prerequisite tutorials:
BlocklyProp Solo is a graphical online programming tool for the Propeller microcontroller.
It's a good idea to become familiar with the basics of BlocklyProp programming before trying to program your ActivityBot robot.
This tutorial shows you how to build functions - reusable chunks of code - with blocks. Then, it explains what multicore means, and how to launch these functions into different Propeller chip cores so they can run at the same time. It's a powerful tool for robotics - one that is beneficial to understand before you go further.
