Robotics

• Menu bar


  Graphical control element of XOD that contains a drop-down menu to help you navigate the entire environment
• Project Browser Library


  Contains a variety of libraries of sections that allows you to manage all patches and add nodes to your project. It consists of xod/bits that deal with binary and bit functions, xod/common-hardware representing sensors and electronic components, and other xod libraries
• Inspector Bar


  Contains the values of each node's active input and output pin that you can change during program creation
• Deployment Bar


  Displays the status report of each active node from compiling, debugging, uploading, simulating, and serial display of the created program
• Quick Help Bar


  Consists of helping tips to recall the parts and functions of each active node
• Patch


  The large grey background working canvas with boxes in your program
• XOD IDE program


  Consists of nodes connected to one or more patches, an ecosystem where all patches and nodes work in one specific action
• Deployment options in XOD IDE

  • Baril
  • Clear Log
  • Watch Value
  • Upload to Arduino
  • Upload and Debug
  • Simulate
• Diode


  A semiconductor device that acts as a switch for current, allowing current to flow in one specific direction, has an anode (positive) that can handle high resistance and a cathode (negative) that can handle low resistance
• Light Emitting Diode (LED)


  Produces different colors using materials that emit electromagnetic radiation (photons) at different wavelengths
• LED lights


  • Used in numerous applications including home appliances, automobiles, handheld gadgets, indoor and outdoor lighting, and art lighting
• Identifying anode and cathode of an LED

  Short lead is the cathode, long lead is the anode, flag symbol inside the lens indicates the cathode
• Boot node


  Used for a single pulse to begin a program, acts as a terminal for the program to start
• Defer node


  Allows you to create a feedback loop, repeats a change of the input on the output after the current operation
• Any node


  Used as a pulse on output when it receives an input pulse
• Square Wave node


  Generates a signal that operates the return of a square wave from the input value
• This code explains how to turn ON and OFF the LED automatically
• (T)


  Value of the LED, whether it is ON or OFF
• (DUTY)


  Duration of the cycle to be repeated
• There are different kinds of diodes: 1. Light Emitting Diode!! 2. Photodiode!! 3. Laser Diode 4. Zener Diode 5. Avalanche Diode
• A diode can also be used as circuit protection, voltage multiplier, switch, and oscillator.
• Control N - New patch
• Control Shift N - new project
