Getting Started Learning to Code with Scratch, Great Starting for Kids and Beginner

See video how to install Otto Extension in mBlock software https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lPDUmW9uHto
How to calibration Otto Legs
As you know, it is difficult to install Servos with accurate angle home, So we need a tool to calibrate by software. From Version 3.5, We added calibration block and make Calibration demo program so Makers can easily calibrate even inside mBlock software via Serial port.

Online Doccumentation for setup Open Classroom to teach kids coding Scratch for Otto
We are building the online doccument with SphinX docs via ReadtheDocs Platform. All in progress. http://ottolearning.rtfd.io/
The sourcecode of online doccument is host in github: https://github.com/stembotvn/OttoLearning
Forked, build and make a pull request if you want to contribute with me to build the doccument if you familiar with Sphinx docs.
NOTE: Version 2.6 full all of functions only work in Arduino Mode of mBlock (code in Scratch, mBLock automatically generate to Arduino code)
Have Fun learning with Otto robot!
