Hi, 

If you want to do a project like this, find the code I used attached:

Hello there!

Here I am posting a cool code with a set of examples that can be used to learn how to use iot functionalities in Tokymaker.

go to https://create.tokylabs.com and load this .xml file there. You will find several self-explanatory examples. Just need to enable the one that you want to compile. Remember to keep the rest disabled.

If you want to know more, go to www.tokylabs.com/learn

Find attached a simple set of codes to start tinkering with IoT projects.

To use them, you have to right-click on the main "Repeat" block you want to use and click on "enable block"

Here I am sharing a 3d model of the tokymaker for you guys to download it and use it in your digital projects!!

Here @Tracy Wadsworth comes again with this handy splash menu that you can show at the beginning of your projects.

Tracy says:

"This is my standard starting project.  sometimes I add more to it.  a few splash screens to start a project.  A few have far more complex menu... but in reality they just call these same functions. 

If you add to this.  good to add each as a function, and try your best to not use any variables in that function as it makes it easier to import."

Thank you Tracy!

Another project from @Tracy Wadsworth !!

Here is the brick-breaker code.  It uses arrays to draw the bricks and should be a good head start on v5 Tetris.  Can change the x/y in those arrays and the bricks would move around.

Definitely worth checking!

More from @Tracy Wadsworth !!

Here I am sharing with the community an amazing  project of two cute eyes following an object, thanks to the great computer vision camera Pixy2.

Another cool project from @Tracy Wadsworth 

It can be used to draw shapes with a simple matrix block. Neat!!

check it out!

This is one of the projects that captivated the most attention from the TokyLabs Community. It is not hard to build and code, but the result is impressive!

Furthermore, it leaves room for improvement and more complete projects. The code can get as complex as you want, adding more functionalities, but here we are posting the basic one. The main features are:

• Lights up a Sun when the weather forecast calls for clear on your location
• Electric lightning flashes and blue drops fall down when the weather forecast calls for a storm on your location
• Lights up a moon 15 minutes before the sunset on your location.
• The cloud shows off all it’s colors when party mode is on.
• The Cloud lights up a couple of stars and a quarter of the moon just at sunset.

Can turn on any of the states by calling them using Cortana voice command.

This is an IoT project, so there is a code for the hardware and a code for the internet services.

The code for the hardware is done at create.tokylabs.com or create.tokylabs.cn

The code for the internet services are done at io.adafruit.com and www.ifttt.com

Please check www.tokylabs.com/learn if you never did an IoT project before

MATERIAL

Tokymaker

Learn to code your own prototypes using the simple visual coding interface and just one finger and program it without installing software or connecting cables. Understand the principles of operating system electronics connecting in the most intuitive way, a large variety of sensors and actuators.

LED light

Also Neopixel LED, but diferent format. LED is also known as light-emitting diode is a light source that is able to adjust its luminance and color.

LED Strip

It is a strip of 30 Neopixel LED. Very common and easy to acquire on internet.

LED Matrix

It is a 8×8 Matrix of LED, also Neopixel. With this format, we can create shapes, icons and small drawings.

rope or string

You know, just a rope. But get a thin one.

cotton

Cotton will create the cloud-alike shape. Try to use big pieces.

Glue

An adhesive substance used to stick things together. You can use hot glue as well.

Pencil

A writing utensil usually consisting of graphite encased in wood. Due to its cylindrical shape, pencils can also act as a great axle or shaft.

Box Cutter

Also known as a retractable blade knife is a great tool to cut cardboard or paperboa

Nice way to draw arcs in the screen (by Tracy)

there is draw_arc function in that last otto code.  This one can handle different shape curve via that height var, but you could fix that h value. Calc is at (0,0), then code shifts it to where it needs to be.  I believe it uses:  

y=((x+r)(x-r))*(-1*(h/r^2))

I wrote some code with large shadowed scrolling font TokyMaker, the letter o,a,e all have curves in them, this one also walks though x solving for y but uses Pythagoras formula a^2+b^2=c^2.  Also in a function called draw_arc, but only coded for being round.  No shift on this one, just draws where it is needed directly.  code is much cleaner and easier to read.

Both codes have a draw_arc function but coded differently.  If you add something into otto_v2 as a function, a mode value could use it, then you get menus without needing to code them.

Finally I added a very simple version of ottoky eye expressions.
