Beam Programming Guide

The document discusses creating parallel programming sequences in a multiple sequence beam program. It explains that additional sequence beams can be created from the starting point or existing beams to allow a program to run simultaneous tasks. Users can produce parallel sequences by pressing and holding the mouse button while moving the mouse upwards or downwards from the starting point or an existing beam wire stub. They can also create new beams later in a program by holding the shift key and moving the mouse pointer up or down from a position on the main sequence beam. The document provides examples of activities to create programs using parallel sequences to control robot movement and sounds.

Parallel Programming

Creating a Multiple Sequence Beam Program


 This is the starting point for all programs.

Starting
Point
 The sequence beam controls the flow of your
program.

 It indicates the sequence in which


Sequence programming blocks will run.
Beam
 Blocks connected to the sequence beam can
be downloaded to the NXT.
 Other blocks in the work area that are not
connected to the sequence beam will not be
Sequence downloaded.
Beam
 You can use the starting point to create
additional sequence beams that will allow
your program to run simultaneous tasks.

Sequence
Beam
 Create a parallel sequence beam by moving

over the wire stub), and pressing and holding

 You can also start a new sequence beam later
in your program (i.e., not from the starting
