Ops Manager Learn 1: The Notebook

For this mission, we have provided you with a template notebook file called picker.ipynb. 

To open this in Jupyter Notebooks, do the following:

Double-click on the picker.ipynb file to open it.

The picker.ipynb notebook contains several code cells. Some are pre-populated for your convenience, some are empty. You will be writing the code for the empty cells.

This cell contains the code to create an instance of the EasyGoPiGo3 robot class and assign the name picker to it.

What line of code instantiates the robot and assigns it a name?

We have provided some pre-written functions for you. These will allow you to perform some useful mission-related tasks without having to know precisely how they work. 

A description of these functions, along with some example usage, is provided in the markdown cells within the notebook.

In this mission you will learn how to use the line follower sensor. In this cell you will create an instance of this sensor and tell our code which port we have plugged it in to so we can tell how far and in which direction the line is from the center of our robot. 

Later in the LEARN section we will help you write the code for this cell.

You will find a cell with an empty init() function where you can declare all your program’s variables and give them sensible initial values.

This is the cell where you will write your project code.

This cell contains commented out calls to the pre-written template test_sensor_readings().

Later in the LEARN section we will show you how you can use these to test the line follower whenever you need to.

You are now ready for the first build session : Ops Manager Learn 2: Build and Calibrate . It is needed for the rest of the mission.
