Connect VIDI X to anything! 🤖💻🖲️🛜

Well, not exactly anything 😉 but you can definitely connect VIDI X to many sensors or components that you, very likely, already have in your classroom.

So, check your shelves, and dig for some components that you would like to use with VIDI X lesson. In this example we are going to use two types of VEX buttons to activate the blue LED on VIDI X.

We don’t even need to write new code – we can simply use code from lesson nr. 4 “Program a button”. This Python code is used to activate the blue LED by pressing the button A on VIDI X. We are using a breadboard to connect multiple VEX buttons to the same GPIO pin that activates the button A (BTN_A).

Once we upload this CircuitPython code to VIDI X using our online Code Editor, we can use the freshly connected button to activate the blue LED on VIDI X.

So tell us, what components you have collecting dust on your shelves and would like to connect to VIDI X? 😁
