CoCube @cocubefun.bsky.social · 8h

In the Snap!, each sprite connects to a #CoCube via BLE. You can easily control each CoCube robot to perform different functions! (The video demonstrates sending the same command.)

You can accomplish this by writing a simple communication program for the CoCube using the @microblocks.bsky.social

I have just updated Snap's neural networks extension with the capability for multinomial classification. You can now generate a block that directly reports the class name of a sample record for data sets with three or more categories.

At 2025 Apsara Conference (Yunqi Conference), Children use @microblocks.bsky.social to program CoCube to achieve challenges such as playing football, crossing the maze, and identifying traffic cards.

Children love CoCube and MicroBlocks so much!

Design a magnetic Hub for the #CoCube robot, which can be used with various modules of #Keyestudio and can be easily programmed in #MicroBlocks!

Thanks to Keyestudio for giving me so many interesting and high-quality modules!

I have just now released Snap! v11, featuring an alternative way to build your own blocks: Instead of writing an algorithm you can let a neural network figure it all out directly from a dataset of examples. Can't wait to show y’all next week at SnapCon in Heidelberg!

It’s very easy to build a robot or develop a maker project with MicroBlocks. @microblocks.bsky.social
And CoCube is probably one of the best platforms for getting started with MicroBlocks.🤣

Teaser - Multi-robot control based on Snap! and MicroBlocks.

In Snap!, the newly added WebSockets extension can obtain the coordinates of multiple CoCube robots in real time and control their movement!
This may be the most elegant multi-robot control solution so far. 😍😍

CoCube dances with other attendees at the ICRA 2025 farewell reception!!🥁

Thanks to MicroBlocks🐰 @microblocks.bsky.social, I can complete the example by dragging a few blocks, otherwise it would be too nerdy to type code in front of a dancing crowd.💃💃💃💃💃👨‍💻🕺🕺🕺🕺🕺

I made this during my stay in Olot using MIT App Inventor. You can draw on a grid and the x, y and hex value of the color is send to a microcontroller in real time. I used a great color picker extension to change the colors. The microcontroller is of course using @microblocks.bsky.social.
