Control

The light orange blocks in the Control

category are all programming control
structures which can be used to affect

the flow of an EdScratch program. Loops, Robotics
waits and if-statement control blocks can

all be found in the Control category.

Sample Code

The following program will create square using commands from control block

Start

repeat 4

turn left LED on

turn right LED on

forwards for 3 inch at speed 5

spin right for 300 degrees at speed 5

turn left LED off

turn right LED off

beep

Sensing

The light blue blocks in the Sensing category are all

related to the Edison robot’s various sensors. These
blocks allow you to turn different sensors on or off,

clear stored sensing data and use sensing data
as value inputs (oval-shaped blocks) or Boolean

inputs (diamond-shaped blocks) inside blocks in an
EdScratch program.
