Programming the Scribbler

Build programs in pictures instead of words with the Scribbler Program Maker GUI (Graphical User Interface). Point and click to select different tiles, place them in your program, and set their actions. Control the Scribbler Robot’s motors, lights, and sensors, and even play music on its speaker. Once you load your program into the Scribbler with a single click, you can unplug the programming cable. The Scribbler does not need to stay connected to your computer to carry out your mission.

You can also write your own programs for your Scribbler Robot with the BASIC Stamp Editor. The straightforward PBASIC programming language gives you direct access to your robot’s sensors, actuators, and drive motors. Load your custom program into the on-board BASIC Stamp 2 microcontroller then disconnect the cable. Once reprogrammed, the Scribbler Robot does not need to maintain the computer connection. You can easily re-load the original factory Demo Program which is included on CD.
