Notice that the
IrRemoteButtons.bs2 template's constant declarations section:
Your Turn – Adding the POWER Button
You can turn the Power button into a disable switch for the Boe-Bot. In other words, if
the Power button is pressed, the Boe-Bot can be programmed to cease to respond to
remote commands. In this example, the Reset button on the Board of Education must be
pressed and released to restart the program.
ACTIVITY #4: ENTERING LARGE NUMBERS WITH THE KEYPAD
Most devices let you enter large numbers by pressing sequences of digit buttons. For
example, you might press 3-1-5 on your microwave oven to reheat some food, and the
oven cooks the food for three minutes and fifteen seconds. Likewise, you might enter 1-
0-0-0 into your calculator as a number (one-thousand) to be multiplied, divided, etc.
Many television sets have a menu selection where you can use the keypad on a remote to
enter the current time, and VCRs have the same feature so that you can program the VCR
to record TV shows when you're not there.
Multi-digit entry is a feature that could be really handy in a second application example
that you can add to your library of useful programs. In this activity, you will develop this
feature, and then save it for future use and reuse.
