Just posted two new videos on the JackBord RGB Color sensor. This lets the JackBord determine the color of objects.
Visit JackBord.org for more information.
Just finished the videos for the short range proximity sensor for JackBord. These let you detect obstacles up to about 5cm away.

A tower of 16 #JackBords ready for final manufacturing. Gave me a chance to try out the new lighting for doing photography and videos.

Some of the new JackBord sensors with their Universal Sensor Interfaces. Once the new TMT (take me to) codes are attached they will be ready for action.

Getting the TMT or Take Me To codes working for JackBord sensors and accessories. Simply enter the TMT code and you’re taken direct to the page for that device.
Students had a great time today, turning their JackBord’s into mini weather stations and taking them all over the school trying to find the coldest and hottest places.
Just added new resources for the #JackBord TOP to our website www. JackBord.org including 3 new videos.

Robot Cluedo
One of my junior robotic students came up with an idea for a project to make a Cluedo game in which the JackBord decides the weapon, the murderer and the place. The players have to try and work it out by feeding the JackBord with clues. Great project for term 4!
This is the new JackBord Universal Sensor Interface (USI1). Lets you easily connect all sorts of sensors to the JackBord while protecting the sensors at the same time.
Shown is a color sensor (the purple square on the left) attached to the USI.
Almost have the virtual JackBords ready. This means students can use a virtual version of the JackBord during lockdown.
