Start programming

After adding the extension, you can write programs with the blocks in the extension, so that you can control products such as CyberPi and mBot2 with a Bluetooth controller.

Example programs

The mBot Bluetooth version does not come with pre-installed programs for the Bluetooth controller. So if you want to control mBot with the Bluetooth controller, you need to write a program in mBlock5 and upload it to mBot.

For more details and sample programs on how to pair and control mBot with the Bluetooth controller, please refer to the file below.
