That depends on where you want to embed the picture. For sites using HTML for coding, it is done using the <img> tag, thus <img src="http://www.bricklink.com/PL/3626cpb0813.jpg" />

OK there is no comprehensive list of tags. Anyone game for compiling a list even if not complete?

I am going to buy LEGO Education Mindstorms EV3 Core set plus Expansion set I would also want to buy whatever that can enable the above to be able to create those models that can be made using Mindstorms EV3 Home (Retail) version Anyone knows instead of buying components from many sources, whether someone has put together a single set to achieve the above?

I have not really started with scratch yet, trying to clear my income tax declaration first So far have only played with scratch without connecting to physical Wedo Since yours will be for classes I think you would be better off buying the classroom pack But as you have found out, Wedo is not cheap considering the limited componets that come with it but it is a start for younger children Tried PM you again but failed again. Good to keep in touch. I can be contacted at pcfw [at} yahoo {dot } com

Looks like their site is under maintenance Stay Tuned! Our website is currently under maintenance and will be back soon. The Singapore ducklearning is up and running but I don't think they deliver to Malaysia address plus they sell only to school. Wait while I search my memory where else you can get. I will be going to the Google Top Contributor Summit in October and I plan to buy Mindstorms when I am there. http://www.ducklearning.com/DLhome/products/curriculum/primary/lego-education-wedo-construction-set-detail try add to cart and I believe the price will be shown

In Malaysia, you can get it from Sasbadi http://sasbadi.com/product-applied.php In Singapore, you can get it from Duck Learning http://www.ducklearning.com/DLhome/index.php The Lego Wedo software is not free But you can also use MIT Scratch which is free @lee82gx tried to messaged you but being new, the system rejected. If the moderators don't object I suppose we can continue dialogue here.

That's the thing, couldn't figure out how to set the video source. I tried Bandicam and the moment you open the software, an adjustable window opens which would be the capture area, very intuitive.

I installed Open Broadcaster. Initial impression is it is hard to use plus had to download Microsoft DirectX End-User Runtime Web Installer which seemed to take long time to download and probably took up lots of space? Any comments?

I am considering getting a screen recorder for recording the screen while programming Mindstorms, WeDo and also MIT Scratch robotic software for purpose of adding videos to my Robotics for Children blog. Need to capture the active window only. Haven't use Mindstorms yet (going to buy soon) but I know that for WeDo, once the program is opened, it occupies the whole screen. The screen recorder would need to be able to capture that. Need recommendations from you guys. BTW I will be going for the Google Top Contributors Summit, Silicon Valley, in October. If by chance any of you are also going, would be nice to meetup. Planning to buy Lego Education Mindstorms EV3 then. Is there anything else that I would need to buy, for example, like the WeDo Resource Set.

Grumpy moo, so one just copy-paste the Youtube url here minus the s and the video will embed? I would like to try that

@Olof, are you referring to posts in this forum here or in an external website. I have info in my Blogger Tips and Tricks blog on how to embed Youtube videos which may give you some ideas on how, will explore how to do it here later. How to embed Youtube video to Blogger Embed Youtube video direct via Share to Blogger tab There are are few more posts there but stop here in case I get into trouble with moderators for this forum Let me test if iFrame works here: <iframe src ="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HEVBWRzU5SA" width="100%" height="300"> <p>Your browser does not support iframes.</p> </iframe> Try again with iFrame: <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube....ed/ieCcbiTtpps" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Sorry forgot this forum uses BBCode which I am less familiar with. Now to see if I can find info on how to embed with BBCode Az52jT7CKOU Sorry, no luck.

@MajorAlvega, thanks for the info.

BTW is Diego active in this forum?

Using WeDo with Mindstorms Technic etc is something I had hoped to be easier as if possible not only me but everyone who may have a Wedo would want as we want to extend its useful life. One limitation is its wired connection to the computer. That was why I had tried getting SBrick makers to make it compatible with WeDo but looks like we may have a long wait.

Kelkschiz, heel erg bedankt I was a student in the Flemish part of Belgium in the 70s

@DrJB: "my Alma Mater" Wow you studied in MIT?

Maybe there are some parents or grandparents (like myself) who have young children/grandchildren? Maybe some may like challenges? Like beating the system and hacking the tilt and distance (motion) sensors such as hacking the distance sensor to become like a sort of light sensor for use in a LINE FOLLOWER? I understand the people over at Sniff have hacked the tilt sensor to time the pendulum and measure gravity etc. BTW do the people here uses Mindstorms for LEGO Power Function motors?

Dr_Spock explained "Start a new WeDo topic. You may have to explain a bit of what is WeDo as it not something discussed much here." so here I am. LEGO WeDo is a junior robotic set sold by LEGO Education much used by schools and not available in retail shops. It is suitable for younger children, even those just starting primary school. Programming is putting together graphic icons (programming blocks) which young children will find easy. This is explained at LEGO WeDo GUI (something that helps us talk with computer). The LEGO WeDo Software is not free but we can also use the free MIT Scratch program Because I don't live with my grandchildren, I started a blog, Robotics for Children, a sort of distance learning which I hope can be a resource for others. I have recently hit on something which I think can excite young children and start them getting interested by showing them that just clapping your hands, making noise or even giving "voice command" can make a motor move. I have written about it at Sound controlled LEGO WeDo motor (incidentally WeDo motors are just Power Function motors which means that pure Technic fans can make their sets do much more interesting things using the LEGO WeDo software or MIT Scratch) and to make it even more interesting, I made another post Command motor to move in 41 languages So Technic afficionados, you can shout out MOVE to your Technic dump truck and the dump truck will move

@milan thanks

Thanks

Hispabricks Magazine has some articles about the evolution of LEGO parts storage. Will write about it when I have finised other stuff.

I asked for help to guide me how to post topics about LEGO WeDo robotic stuff, if no respond will post what I think best

Diego Galvez said in Volume 016: Introduction to robotics with WeDo that WeDo is more than just for kids, that it is possible to construct a LINE FOLLOWER using WeDo. I have added a video to the post. However, I am not able to find out how that can be done with WeDo as I thought to make a line follower, one need to have a light/color sensor but WeDo doesn't have such. So how can that be done? Anybody knows?

And I have done the first summary of Hispabrick Magazine robotic related article at Volume 016: Introduction to robotics with WeDo

Hispabrick Magazines (free download) has loads of articles on LEGO including robotic articles on NXT, Mindstorms and WeDo. However, if we are only interested in robotic related articles, it is too time consuming to browse through so many articles to find the ones you want. So for mine as well as other's convenience, I have tabulated the magazine volume number, page number and topics on my blog and you can find it at Hispabrick Magazine: Topics on LEGO WeDo, NXT, Mindstorms
