4. Courses

Documents are on the way. Stay tuned!

5. Explore beyond

You can use the parts to build your own robot and program it using mBlock5 to bring your ideas to life.

Programming guide

To program the parts in mBlock5, you need to add the corresponding extensions first.

For example, if you use a CyberPi, an mBot2 shield, encoder motors, and an ultrasonic sensor to build the robot, after adding CyberPi to the device library and connecting it, you also need to add the mBot2 shield extension (which contains the blocks for encoder motors) and the ultrasonic sensor extension.


Alternatively, you can add mBot2 to the device library to load the required extensions in one go.
:::tips Note: This mBot2 one-time loading feature is currently only supported in the web version of mBlock5. :::

After adding the extensions successfully, you can drag the blocks to the Blocks area and start programming.
