Remote Sensor Connections
- Lets you enable and disable Remote sensor connections
This block can only be used with a PicoBoard, a LEGO Education WeDo Robotics Kit or Mesh.
Example Uses
As this block lets the project communicate with the outside world, it can be used to operate projects without using the keyboard and mouse; instead, the slider can be moved, noises made, etc.
Some common uses for the () Sensor Value block:
- Controlling a project
- Letting the Scratcher physically interact with the project
- Offering a different type of way to operate a project
- Getting the value of another program's variable in Mesh
