Intelino Scratch app is a block-based programming editor for the intelino smart train.
Scratch™, developed at the MIT Media Lab, is the most popular block-based programming editor used by millions of children worldwide. With Intelino Scratch, you will get access to a full-featured collection of control blocks for the smart train integrated in the familiar environment of the Scratch™ editor. Powered by Scratch 3.0 extension technology, all of the functions of the smart train are at your fingertips:
- Movement status and direction events
- Distance events
- Speed control, pausing and stopping
- Wagon decopling
- programmable top, front and rear RGB LED lights
- split track detection and route planning functions
- color command detection and full editing capability
- color detection and events
In addition to single train programming, Intelino Scratch allows to connect to and interactively program up to 3 smart trains. This capability greatly enhances the creative and learning possibilities and offers a great way to experiment with smart mobility concepts like collision avoidance, autonomous transportation, cooperative driving, resource sharing and more.
Additionally, Intelino Scratch offers access multiple open-source extensions:
- Experiment with AI and Machine Learning to control the smart train using Teachable Machine and Face, Hand and Body Sensing extensions developed under the Dancing with AI project at the MIT Media Lab. The Teachable Machine extension offers integration with Googles Teachable Machine and allows to easily create and train image- and audio-based models and use them in the Scratch editor.
- Use Text-to-Speech, Translate, Music and Pen extensions for extra creative possibilities.
- Enable interactivity between the smart train and 3rd-party hardware such as micro:bit™, Makey Makey™ and others.
