CloudLabs Crank Rod System vs HatchBlox

In this simulator, you will need to set up a crank-connecting rod system for a steam engine. The simulator provides a belt gear system, a protoboard, an AC motor, an RPM gauge for the motor and the crank-connecting rod system. It is also necessary to calculate the length of the crank, the angular frequency, the maximum speed, the forward motion of the system, the angular frequency of the wheel and the speed of the wheel.

The HatchBlox app enables students ages 8+ to program their Hatchling Robotics Kit. Students drag together blocks to build programs that control motors and lights, and they can use sensors to make their robot respond to its environment. The only limit is their imagination! HatchBlox is a complete block-based programming language that is specifically designed for physical computing. HatchBlox contains blocks for all parts of the Hatchling Robotics Kit, as well as control structures, math and logic operators, support for variables and lists, and more. HatchBlox makes it easy for beginners to explore and get started, while also enabling students to create more complex programs as they learn more about computer science. Features: - Control lights, motors, and sensors for the Hatchling Robotics Kit - Code can run live while connected, and continues to run on the robot after disconnection Requirements: This app requires a Hatchling Robotics Kit. The app connects to the kit via Bluetooth BLE, so make sure Bluetooth is enabled!
