Program with Blockly
Use math, logic, loops, variables and discover more programming concepts
Get started
Plug Thymio to the computer with the USB cable or with the USB dongle and turn Thymio on by pressing 3 seconds on the central button
Launch “Thymio Suite”
Click on the Thymio Blockly icon
Your first program in a few clicks
All programming blocks are on the left panel. Drag & drop an event block in the programming area. Then, drag & drop action blocks inside the event block. Press Play.
Examples
Thymio stops at the border of the table
Front sensors make Thymio change color
Example using variables and subroutines
Press the forward button multiple times to make Thymio accelerate
First let’s set the value of the “speed” variable to 0
We create a subroutine called “checkSpeed” that will check the value of the “speed” variable and set the motors speed accordingly. When the “speed” variable value is equal to 3, we set its value to -1 so the next time the forward button is pressed the value will be 0 again
We use the “on forward button touched” event to increment the value of the “speed” variable and to call the “checkSpeed” subroutine
You have 3 different speed levels. If you press one more time the forward button, Thymio will stop. If you press it again, Thymio will go back to the first speed level.
