Pre-programmed  Modes

To turn on Thymio, hold your finger on the circle touch sensor at the top for 3 seconds.  Press an arrow key to switch colors, and press the center button again to activate the mode.

The robot comes with some pre-programmed functionality:

• Green (curious) – Follows using horizontal proximity sensors
• Yellow (explorer) – Goes forward and turns when it sees something in its way
• Red (scared)– Runs away from what it sees and visualizes accelerometer when lifted
• Blue (sound)– Responds to sound/clapping
• Cyan – Follows lines.  (Thick 1.5 in gaffer’s tape works best)

• Calibrate to line by:

• First: placing both bottom sensors over black and press forward and backward touch sensors at same time
• Second: placing both bottom sensors over white surface and press right and left touch sensors at same time

• Purple – Responds to touch sensors & IR Remote Control

To turn off Thymio, hold your finger on the circle touch sensor at the top for 3 seconds.

• If buttons are unresponsive, do not touch for 4 seconds, then try again.  
• If mode with lights off is selected, it is a user-saved program, and robot must be turned off to re-enter pre-programmed options.
