mBot2 Python Crash Course: Line Following, Sensors & Control in 1 Hour

🤖🎓 Want to program the mBot2 in Python and move beyond block coding in under one hour?
In this crash course, you will learn how to control the mBot2 using Python through a series of hands-on robotics projects. This video is a full compilation of five earlier Python tutorials, organized in one place so you can follow a clear progression from simple sensor programming to advanced control logic and multi sensor behaviors. By the end, you will have the confidence and practical experience to build your own robotics projects in Python using the mBot2.

This course assumes basic Python familiarity. If you know what variables, functions, and import statements are, you are good to go.

You will learn how to:
✅ Convert mBot2 block programs into Python code
✅ Program the ultrasonic sensor in Python and display real time distance data
✅ Understand and implement proportional control for line following
✅ Build a proportional control line follower in Python using the Quad RGB sensor
✅ Add color sensing and obstacle avoidance to an advanced line follower
✅ Write a Python program from scratch using tilt detection and audio feedback
✅ Use official CyberPi, mBuild, and mBot2 Python API documentation effectively
✅ Upload, test, and debug Python programs directly on the mBot2

⏪ Projects included:
Ultrasonic Sensor Python Intro Project
Explaining Logic: Proportional Control Line Follower
Proportional Control Line Follower in Python
Advanced Line Following with Color Sensing and Obstacle Avoidance
Tilt Detection with Audio Feedback
