InO-Bot Properties
An InO-Bot is a turtle-like robot, which
Logo talks to just as it would talk to a turtle.
Logo does not TRACE or STEP these properties, but you can monitor them with WHEN or WHENEVER.
BATTERY
Reports the battery level of InO-Bot.
Description
BATTERY reports the battery level of the internal InO-Bot battery in Volts.
Example
GPROP “INOBOT “BATTERY Result: 3.7
CALIBRATION
Controls InO-Bot’s calibration factors for turns and movements.
Description
Most often, Ino-Bot needs to be calibrated somewhat. You can use this property to make the bot’s movements and turns more accurate. This property is a two-element list. The first element is a turn adjustment factor, and the second element is a movement adjustment factor. Initially, both values are set to 1.
Example
GPROP “INOBOT “CALIBRATION Result: [1 1] PPROP “INOBOT “CALIBRATION LIST 85/90 1
CONNECTOR
Controls InO-Bot’s external connector.
Description
InO-Bot has a small connector of the right side that can be used to attach a secondary motor, a light, or the like. This property controls the setting of this connector. Its input can be one of the values FORWARD, BACK, or STOP.
Example
GPROP “INOBOT “CONNECTOR Result: STOP
DISTANCE
Reports InO-Bot’s distance to an obstacle.
Description
DISTANCE reports the distance to an obstacle in centimeters. InO-Bot uses ultrasound to measure the distance, with a reasonable amount of inaccuracy.
Example
GPROP “INOBOT “DISTANCE Result: 125
FRONTLEFT
Reports the status of InO-Bot’s front left obstacle sensor.
Description
FRONTLEFT reports the status of InO-Bot’s front left obstacle sensor as either TRUE or FALSE.
Example
GPROP “INOBOT “FRONTLEFT Result: FALSE
FRONTRIGHT
Reports the status of InO-Bot’s front right obstacle sensor.
Description
FRONTRIGHT reports the status of InO-Bot’s front right obstacle sensor as either TRUE or FALSE.
Example
GPROP “INOBOT “FRONTRIGHT Result: FALSE
INFRARED
Controls InO-Bot’s infrared sensor.
Description
InO-Bot has a built-in infrared emitter and sensor. You can turn the emitter on or off by setting the INFRARED property to TRUE or FALSE. If you read the INFRARED property, it reports a value between 0 and 1 according to the strength of the infrared signal.
Example
GPROP “INOBOT “INFRARED Result: 0.58
LIGHT
Reports the status of InO-Bot’s light sensor.
Description
LIGHT reports the status of InO-Bot’s light sensors as a value between 0 and 1.
Example
GPROP “INOBOT “LIGHT Result: 0.38
LIGHTS
Controls InO-Bot’s headlights.
Description
The LIGHTS property reports and sets the level of InO-Bot’s headlights. Its input is a list of two values between 0 and 1 for the left and right headlight, where 0 turns the headlight off, and 1 turns it on at full intensity.
Note that Logo assumes that the headlights are turned off when you connect. InO-Bot does not transmit information about its headlights.
Example
; turn both headlights on PPROP “INOBOT “LIGHTS [1 1] ; Use half intensity left, and full intensity right PPROP “INOBOT “LIGHTS [0.5 1] ; Turn them off PPROP “INOBOT “LIGHTS [0 0]
LINELEFT
Reports the status of InO-Bot’s left line sensor.
Description
LINELEFT reports the status of InO-Bot’s left line sensor as either TRUE or FALSE.
Example
GPROP “INOBOT “LINELEFT Result: FALSE
LINERIGHT
Reports the status of InO-Bot’s right line sensor.
Description
LINELEFT reports the status of InO-Bot’s right line sensor as either TRUE or FALSE.
Example
GPROP “INOBOT “LINERIGHT Result: FALSE
NOISELEVEL
Reports InO-Bot’s microphone noise level.
Description
NOISELEVEL reports the level of noise that InO-Bot’s microphone records. The more noise it records, the higher NOISELEVEL NOISE reports. Note that the noise level increases when InO-Bot’s motors are turned on.
Example
GPROP “INOBOT “NOISELEVEL Result: 15
REARLEFT
Reports the status of InO-Bot’s rear left obstacle sensor.
Description
REARLEFT reports the status of InO-Bot’s rear left obstacle sensor as either TRUE or FALSE.
Example
GPROP “INOBOT “REARLEFT Result: FALSE
REARRIGHT
Reports the status of InO-Bot’s rear right obstacle sensor.
Description
REARRIGHT reports the status of InO-Bot’s rear right obstacle sensor as either TRUE or FALSE.
Example
GPROP “INOBOT “REARRIGHT Result: FALSE
