mblock is a graphical programming environment based on
Scratch 2.0 Open Source Code that makes it easy to
program electronics projects and create interactive robots
like Otto; with the Arduino mode you can view both the
Arduino source changes in real-time and the graphical
blocks corresponding to the C language code, so that you
can process a smooth transition to advanced programming.

download Arduino for FREE to your computer
from http://www.mblock.cc/software/mblock/mblock3/
choose the appropriate Operating System
installation package for your computer.
a open the software
b go to Manage Extensions
a search OttoDIY and Download
b OttoDIY blocks appear in Robots scripts area
a enter Arduino mode; go to Edit/Arduino mode
b go to Connect/Serial Port (select Otto USB port)
c go to Boards/Arduino Nano (mega328)
you are all setup and ready to code your own Otto!
Programming is easy to master as building blocks.
drag & drop the blocks from script area to the center,
you can create dances, stories and interactions easily.
Upload to Arduino
“the Arduino code will be automatically encoded
by mblock and directly upload to your Otto”

b install Arduino in your computer...
a SIGN UP in ottodiy.com
download and unzip OttoDIY_PLUS_all.zip
b from the “driver” folder install CH341SER
choose the appropriate Operating System
installation package for your computer.
c copy or move all “libraries” folders to:
C:\Documents\Arduino\libraries\
(your Arduino library folder location)
d copy or move all “Otto_” folders to:
C:\Documents\Arduino\
(your Arduino library folder location)
a open Arduino and
open Otto_avoid.ino
b Connect Otto to your computer USB
select in Arduino Tools/
Board: “Arduino Nano”
Processor: “ATmega328”
Port COM# (where your Otto is connected)
a verify the code
b upload the code
c Otto will walk endless until detect
obstacles to avoid
in Arduino the principal loop code looks like this:
Otto_avoid.ino
52 void loop() {
if(obstacleDetected){
Otto.sing(S_surprise);
Otto.playGesture(OttoFretful);
Otto.sing(S_fart3);
Otto.walk(2,1300,-1);
Otto.turn(2,1000,-1);
delay(50);
obstacleDetector();
}
?
else{
Otto.walk(1,1000,1);
obstacleDetector();
}
}
sing function:
Otto.sing(S_surprise);
sing function (“sound to make”)
try change sound:
(S_surprise); (S_OhOoh); (S_OhOoh2);
(S_cuddly); (S_sleeping);
(S_happy); (S_superHappy); (S_happy_short);
(S_sad); (S_confused);
(S_fart1); (S_fart2); (S_fart3);
(S_mode1); (S_mode2); (S_mode3);
(S_connection); (S_disconnection); (S_buttonPushed);
play Gesture function:
Otto.playGesture(OttoFretful);
play Gesture function (“emotion to express”)
try change emotion:
(OttoSuperHappy); (OttoSad);
(OttoSleeping); (OttoFart);
(OttoConfused); (OttoFretful);
(OttoLove); (OttoAngry);
(OttoMagic); (OttoWave);
(OttoVictory); (OttoFail);
move functions:
Otto.walk(2,1300,-1);
move function (“#steps, Time[ms], direction”)
try change move function to:
Otto.walk(1,1000,1); Otto.walk(1,1000,-1);
Otto.turn(3,1000,1); Otto.turn(3,1000,-1);
Otto.bend(2,1000,1); Otto.bend(2,500,-1);
Otto.shakeLeg(1,1000,1); Otto.shakeLeg(1,500,-1);
Otto.moonwalker(1,1000,moveSize,1); moveSize: “height of the move”
Otto.moonwalker(1,1000,30,1);
Otto.crusaito(1,1000,moveSize,1);
Otto.flapping(1,1000,moveSize,1);
Otto.swing(1,1000,moveSize);
Otto.updown(1,1000,moveSize);
Otto.tiptoeSwing(1,1000,moveSize);
Otto.jitter(1,1000,moveSize);
