This block can only be used with a PicoBoard, a LEGO Education WeDo Robotics Kit or Mesh.
Scratch 2.0
In 2.0, this block is only for PicoBoards. The LEGO WeDo values are separated into new blocks: Tilt and Distance. Mesh and RSC are not supported.
Example Uses
As this block lets the project communicate with the outside world, it can be used to operate projects without using the keyboard and mouse; instead, the slider can be moved, noises made, etc.
Some common uses for the () Sensor Value block:
- Controlling a project
- Letting the Scratcher physically interact with the project
- Offering a different type of way to operate a project
- Getting the value of another program's variable in Mesh
