Getting Started with LEGO MINDSTORMS Robot Inventor - Everything You Must Know
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 24 июл 2024
- The LEGO MINDSTORMS Robot Inventor does not come with any helpful documentation that teaches you how to get up and running with the platform; the included Quick-Start Guide is more concerned about protecting the environment than teaching you how to use this fourth-generation of LEGO MINDSTORMS. As I noted in my review video last week, Robot Inventor is a brilliant robotics platform that brings many impressive new features to the table, but my biggest frustration is the lack of documentation to teach you how to get started with the robot.
Today, I seek to close that gap by providing a comprehensive getting-started guide that teaches everything you need to know about using the Robot Inventor for the first time: turning the Intelligent Hub on and off, charging the Intelligent Hub, connecting to a smart device, troubleshooting connections, navigating the new MINDSTORMS app, updating the Intelligent Hub operating system, updating the motors, running the demo to verify that all motors and sensors work, traversing the module-style tutorials, and building your first robot.

What do you guys think of the background music in this video? I listened to feedback from the last video and tried to make adjustments to make it more palatable for everyone. I would love to hear your thoughts!
Sounds great to me!
Can you make a Robot-only video in which you put some dramatic background music with the robot functioning ? Without any additional talking or presenting , just a video that shows a variant of a basic robot performing
@@OWNEDGAMINGwasd I like this idea a lot and I definitely want to try it!
This is an an amazing video We had missed you so much
I missed you too! I am thrilled to hear you are enjoying the new vids. many more on their way!
I just got the MINDSTORMS Robot Inventor Set and found your channel. Love your channel and it’s a big help as well. Thanks!
Thank you very much for this excellent video. Vielen Dank für das hervorragende Video.
I just got the set before it retires and saw your video! Thank you!!!
I don't mind the music at all, it helps to provide a kind of rythm while you speak. Thank you for making these videos, they're great.
Thanks for your feedback! I am glad to hear you are enjoying the vids!
Great job very helpful
You're welcome! I am glad to hear it's helped you!
Hey - thanks so much for putting this video together. It's really helpful. I've just been searching YT for instructional videos of how to use the Word Block programming tool. There are so many different blocks (and the variables) which all look to do cool things but I can't find any good videos on them. Is this something you're planning to create?
awesome background music too
Hey @builderdude35, I'm looking to increase the gear ratio on my lego percussive massage gun, using a crank piston. Do you have any ideas how to stabilize it after increasing the ratio?
Awesome
Every time I watch one of your videos, you point out more things for me to hate about the new Mindstorms.
Hey, thanks for the video, very useful! I've got a question, hope you can help me out, i've been charging the hub like for an hour every time I have to, this since i got the kit a week ago, since yesterday the hub has been turning off quickly while im using it, i turn it on and 1 minute later it gets off, could this be cause probably im not using the corret type of charger adapter? Is there something specific i got to do to charge it correctly? Or what could be happening, i'll really appreciate your answer, thanks!
Hello Builderdude35! I'm Aren from the FLL team Brain Waves. We're extremely happy that you're posting again! We know that you're taking a break from EV3 content, but do you have any tips on how to prevent Gyro Drifts? My team is competing in this year's FLL tournament and we are using the Gyro Sensor for a lot of turns. If you can tell us some tips on how to prevent Gyro Drifts, that would be helpful! Thank you for your time!
Hi Aren! I recommend you take a look at this video; it is pretty old now, but it has lots of helpful information: ruclips.net/video/7V16AEW3GG4/видео.html
Good luck!
@@Builderdude35 Thank you so much! The video was full of details! Our team is very grateful for your advice!
Music is perfect!
Great to know! Thanks!
hi, do you know how to download existed program from controller to ipad ?
Is it better to use scratch or EV3 mindstorm for robocup?
Too bad you couldn't have published this video Christmas Day. It freaked me out to have all those error messages pop up and Lego was slammed with customer service calls. After checking with a few chat rooms, it seems that most everyone was getting those same errors. Nice that you are showing people how to take it in stride and work through it.
Yeah I definitely hear you, and it was a bit of a missed opportunity on my part. (Christmas Eve even fell on a Thursday this year!) I tried to push this one out early to try to recover that opportunity, hopefully it helps some people still.
Thanks for the video! Ordering my 51515 soon. Is there a video tutorial that you or somebody else has done that shows the ins and outs of the programming on the app?
Not yet... as of right now, I'm the first one to do in-depth tutorials on the platform. And I am also open to suggestions for tutorials!
@@Builderdude35 I suggest doing one on the programming end of the 51515. :-) Covering all the basics first and then a further in-depth tutorial of all the different programming options. I've looked... nobody else had done one that I can find. You'd be first in line! :-)
@@russwoodward1448 Sure! Thanks for the advice!
Thank you very much for the detailed explanation !
My issue is its very difficult to turn the motors manually.I can turn it but with great force. At 6:19 you seem to turn them quite easily. Mine feels like I will break the internal gear mechanism. Is this normal ?
No, that is not normal; it should be relatively easy to turn the motors by hand, as long as they are note currently in "brake" mode because a program is running. Have you tried turning the motor on its own, not plugged in to the hub and without a program running? They should turn relatively easily.
@@Builderdude35 Even when not plugged in, it’s harder to turn for the first few degrees then it gets better. But again after the initial push I can feel the friction throughout the turn from the inner parts. All my 4 motors behave the same. I hope it’s normal. I guess I should not expect it to rotate freely like a flywheel.
Thank you so much for taking the time to reply back
@@sudha124ragu that actually sounds pretty normal. I wouldn't worry about it!
I wish i have a mindstorm
I have many ideas but I don't have the parts to make it 😕
I hope you explain how to stop a progran while its running soon
Dk why i feel like when i press nth happens
Thanks for a suggestion! I will keep it in mind
Too Funny Kyle :) . The Instruction manual is so worthful - you should throw it soo hard that it lands in Billund in TLG Headquater
- Next RUclips Movie i wish you comment in german - perfect how you read it
Glad you enjoyed the humor! Perhaps there is a future market for Builderdude35 tutorials in German, who knows :D
When I updated my motors yesterday, it took a real second to update them lol.
You better start making some line follower videos soon ))))
No, but seriously, with such compact motors you are gonna love how the robots get to be ;)
You better bet that line followers are in the plans! I'm really looking forward to seeing what I can do with these motors!
@@Builderdude35 well, since i hit the mark, let me push my luck a bit more )))
In your past videos you made some designs of your own
I'd like to see you take full advantage of the number of motors that this kit provides, with a build of your own
.
(i still have to wait another 5 months until i get my own set)
You're not pushing your luck at all if you keep coming up with good ideas like that ;)
@@Builderdude35 speaking of new things , in your video ,,Goals for 2021,, at 1:48 you mentioned that you kinda ran out of video ideas for Ev3
Well, there are plenty of subjects i haven't seen you debate more in the past 6 years i have been subscribed
For example, the motor stall program , the video was about a basic use, such as a ,,my block,, for moving forward. Ever thought about trying to make a ,,line follower,, that doesn't use the light sensors and instead it is capable to detect if a wheel has stall or is moving faster than its supposed on a certain surface ? This has become a recent practice in the WRO for precise movements without relying on the ,,gyro,, sensor
.
( i don't like the ev3 gyro wich is why i marked it that way)
@@OWNEDGAMINGwasd I actually covered something similar to your example: I think I (rather creatively) called it a Motor Encoder Drive-Straight program, basically using a proportional controller to sync the motor rotation speed right and left. However, I agree that there may be a few fringe possibilities for me to explore, even if I can't think of them all myself
How, we miss him everyday, don’t we?
I've learned that the music that accompanies many movies adds emotion to the outcome. But this requires accomplished musicians with a deep knowledge of appropriate music. Most of the music I hear on RUclips detracts from the information conveyed likely because the creator lacks the talent to choose appropriate music. That is not to say anything against the creator, why should we expect them to know both their subject and music. Look at the list of contributors to a film, perhaps 50 or more. Not required for these excellent tutorials.
In my opinion no music in background - is more irritating as helpful (my 5 cts to your question)
Thanks for sharing your opinion! I definitely hear what you mean and I'm hoping to make a compromise between both camps! I appreciate your input on the matter.
If you want to turn off the hub just take the battery off. jk just hold down for 5 seconds
Starkes Deutsch -> good german
The new motors are kinda underpowered, the smart hub şsnt as easy to use nor intutive , doesnt have daisy chaining, doesnt have a screen, doesnt have the high torque as the EV3. The robot inventor is more of a WeDo 3.0 than a new mindstorms
