Formula Flowcode with EB024 Bluetooth Board

Post by marcbernz »

Hi! I'm a college student and we have a project using the formula flowcode buggy, our task is to upgrade it with the Eb024 expansion which is the bluetooth board. I want to ask if anyone knows what will be the added features or function to the buggy when the bluetooth expansion is installed. Another question is that will it work just fine when you install bluetooth board alone without the bundled kit?

Hi

Please don't double post. Your second post was asking the same thing.

Hi
That's ok
New users have to have their first posts approved by a moderator or a vc user.

I've not used the buggy or Bluetooth myself so not able to give a definite answer but I would imagine you will be able to do things like control the buggy from an Android phone.

Thanks for the reply.

So the bluetooth will work independently without the bundle?

Hello,

If you have a bluetooth e-blocks board you can plug it into the D-type connector on the back of the Formula Flowcode buggy, this will mean you can use the bluetooth component within your Flowcode project to add bluetooth comms.

Hi.

Thanks. Clears a lot up. :)

Does anyone know what other features it can add up to the Formula Flowcode buggy when the board is used as an expansion?
