Can I use multiple of the same robotic component in a project?

Yes, depending on the component. 

Forward Education's collection of smart robotic components will support using multiple of the same component in one project, however there are some important things to note. 

  • You will see both connected components in the virtual simulator. 
  • When coding, you will need to use the dropdown in the code block to indicate whether it is 'BTN1' (button 1) or 'BTN2' (button 2) you are trying to code.
  • Once the code is downloaded, you will see the component ID appear in the simulator. 
  • Test your code on your project to determine which physical component corresponds with which virtual component ID.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

  • Connecting multiple Water Pump components is not possible as there is only one Water Pump connection port on the Breakout Board. 
  • If you run out of Sensor ports on the Breakout Board, you can use the 'daisy chain' method to connect multiple sensors components to each other. 
  • A maximum of three Servo Motor components can be connected to the Breakout Board at one time as there is only three designated Motor ports.
