Excellent STEM intro. I look forward to learning from all of you.
thank you for your great effort. but i have a problem with library downloading icon. it does not work, so i can not have a copy of this library on my PC. i sent them email but they didn't response. do u have any idea about this problem ? thank u in advance
I'm sorry you didn't get a response from your email. Are you downloading the library from www.pitsco.com/prizm/TETRIX-PRIZM-Robotics-Controller#downloads? I tested the TETRIX PRIZM Arduino Library Download Now button, and it worked correctly. Your browser settings can affect your downloads. Have you tried right clicking on the Download Now button and selecting Save Link As...? If this still doesn't work, please email pitscoed@pitsco.com with your request, and I'll email you the ZIP file.
I want lift 200g using a DC motor, but I don't know whether to use 6V dc motor or 12dc motor and the value of it's RPM. could you help me, please?
There are many factors that can affect a build, so please email support@pitsco.com with the details you mentioned here. Support will probably have more questions for you, so it might take a few emails back and forth to gain enough information to give you any suggestions.
why did you click on "upload to Arduino" after you change the value 1000 to 2000 on Arduino program itself? you were supposed to only click on "upload" on the Arduino program... you did not change the value. Oops.
Hello, there is a problem with connecting a DC motor controller Tetrix to the ev3 unit. Downloaded and installed the EV3 blocks for LEGO MINDSTORMS. But the program doesn't recognize motors . gives a yellow exclamation mark over the icon of the port. And watching LEGO ports shows the electricity meter. Help us understand what's going on, maybe we need to install some additional software to make the EV3 unit recognize TETRIX motors.
Hello, please can you make a model for the WRO Thailand 2018 with the myRIO and its controller and engine expansion and the programming of each engine.
why does i can't find the document of Ev3 programming in www.tetrixrobotics.com
Can I use two parallel racks kept top and bottom and pinon in between run smoothly
Thank you for a nice intro to servo mounts
How did this happen? Cannot compile some of the documents for deployment: Program.ev3p: Use nonexistent modules.
Thanks for contacting us! We're sorry you’re experiencing difficulty with the EV3 Blocks in this particular instance. If you’re currently using the new EV3 module for TETRIX® PRIME (which makes these systems completely compatible), the instructions in the video won't work. If you’re using the products featured in the video, unfortunately, this webinar is a little older and we no long carry this HiTechnic product as a controller for EV3 and TETRIX. As such, we cannot replicate this error, which limits our ability to troubleshoot. But we want to do our best to help. Can you email us with more information about this error at pitscoed@pitsco.com? If you’re interested in alternatives at some point, you might consider the EV3 module we mentioned, or we have the PULSE™ and PRIZM® robotics controllers, and the TETRIX MAX DC Motor (or Servo) Expansion Controller.
what abaut TETRIX® MAX TorqueNADO™ Motor ? How can i programing this motor with its encoder? would you please explain this issue ? many thanks
useing PRIZM
You can program PRIZM via Arduino (IDE) software. All the available Resources and Downloads can be found at www.pitsco.com/TETRIX-PRIZM-Robotics-Controller, including the programming guide and the software download. Let us know if there's anything else we can do to help.:)
How can we program this TETRIX® MAX TorqueNADO? would you please upload a vedio that explane the way to programe it with prizm ? thanks
What camera was used for this??
what if the receivier is NOT flashing when the charged battery is plugged into it correctly?
Any up to date info with Tetrix and EV3, since the controller changed to Prizm ???
We're currently working on updating info for TETRIX and EV3 connectivity, and will post it soon!
Hi, do you go over how to get your joystick working? I couldn't find any guides on how to remote control the robot from your controller or even a computer
We have a video showing the gamepad setup with our controller at czcams.com/video/VxvaUgfNoFQ/video.html. Hope that helps.:)
Does anyone know what kind of gripper is used on this robot? My school is entering this competition and we would like to use the gripper in this video.
He probably 3D printed it. It looks custom just like the rest of the robot
Great explanation, sir! I understood it very well, thank you very much! I hope you make more vids in the future discussing different components.
We have more videos coming your way!
Can the vex motors plug into the servo ports in a TETRIX® PRIZM® Robotics Controller and work. The controller servo port has a 6Volt 6 Amp max. The Vex battery is 7.2V
Thanks for asking Mike. We did some searching, but couldn't identify what servo you're using for sure. If you provide a VEX part number, we can be more specific, but in general, any off the shelf 3-wire standard servo motor can connect to PRIZM®.
You explain very well! Thank you!
What is the piece that connects the servo to the axle? It looks like just an axle connector, but how does it mount to a servo horn?
That piece is the aluminum servo shaft to 4.7 mm steel D-shaft axle adapter that's included in the TETRIX MAX Standard Servo Mounting Kit (www.tetrixrobotics.com/TETRIX-MAX-Standard-Servo-Mounting-Kit). It's a specialty servo horn that connects the axle directly to the servo.
I am also interested in seeing the sketch for this.
nice video I want a better motor for a robot (no arm) that carries a weight of 50 kilos servo motor or DC motor and if DC motor is any kind of it ?
Hi , I need a motor that has low weight ,smaller dimension and atleast 80mNm torque.So suggest me the right motor.My mail id is mak.hm41@ymail.com So that we can discuss.
I passed your question to one of our robot specialist and asked him to email you.
Is the code available for download for the WorkCell Prizm automation?
Are the Hitechnic DC Motor and Servo controllers compatible with the Prizm controller, or is it necessary to buy the newer motor and servo expansion devices? Thanks
Hi Can you use 2 worms per wheel? To increase the output power? Also will 2 worm reduce backlash?
Hey, I've got a question! How do you know the amount of voltage you need to have for your dc motor? We have a project in which we will need two dc motors for two wooden wheels. The wheels have a diameter of 18 cm.
Which motor? We have a few.:) If it's a TETRIX® MAC DC Motor, they are rated at 12 volts. PRIME is a six volt system.
This is great information about motor...
Documentation is missing with the kit, where can I find it ?
Sorry for the delay in replying. We didn't receive notification for this comment from CZcams. Have you already contacted us another way or are you still needing help? Are you referring to the TETRIX PRIME Arduino Hardware Kit? If so, we do have some downloadable resources at www.tetrixrobotics.com/TETRIX-PRIME-Arduino-Hardware-kit. If you're in the US and there is something else you're looking for, please call 800-358-4983. Otherwise, a reseller in your area can be found at www.tetrixrobotics.com/Support/?art=8075.
Hello, my kids could not remove the screw. I also tried by myself and i could not do it either. Please give us some tips. Thank you
The key is to use the correct sized, #1, Phillips screwdriver. This will make it much easier to remove. If the screw head is stripped, please take a look at this troubleshooting video, video.tetrixrobotics.com/default.aspx?vID=623&gID=47.
You saved my life!
Glad we could help.:)
before you go, i have a question. Am i allowed to use arduino?
Please refer to wro2017.org/advancedCategory.html for the official rules. Or there is contact info to reach WRO at www.wroboto.org/about-wro/contact-us.
Thank you so much for the assistance
You're welcome. Good luck at the competition!
very helpful! thanks
Great video! Surprised why this video has so few likes!
We're always happy to get likes, and it's great feedback, but we understand some viewers don't engage in that way.
the track bot looks like Jonny 5
Could you help me with what ardublock jar file you are using? My ultrasonic sensor block is different than the one you are using.
Please email Tim Lankford at tlankford@pitsco.com with a description of what issues you were having.
i can't add motor block >>>
Please email Tim Lankford at tlankford@pitsco.com with a description of what issues you were having.
i am from oman and i was trying to buy alot of parts from pitsco store online but unfortunately isn't work its really sad
Please email Tim Lankford at tlankford@pitsco.com with a description of what issues you were having. Tim might have a simple solution for you or your feedback could help us make improvements. Thanks!
Wow! I just did the same thing! Mine has both arms moving and a swiveling head with a sonar on it for path finding. czcams.com/video/MiQEwwv3HFo/video.html
Nicely done Carol! Thanks for sharing. Do you have any tips for others?
I will soon be posting my code on Github with the path finding behavior and the arms will move slowly back and forth as it rolls forward to simulate walking. When the robot sees an open path the arm on that side rises up and points the way. It is a very simple form of behavior but makes the robot look almost sentient! Right now I am trying to simulate multitasking on the Arduino to make the arms move while the robot rolls forward.
Keep us posted. We're interested to see your results!
Thank you!
Would love more details about the code and the wiring of NeoPixels to the PRIZM
If you email Paul Uttley who created this video at puttley@pitsco.com, he'll provide you with what you're looking for.
Can you share your code please?

Great explanation to what I wanted to know. Now, what is a "stepper" motor?
Glad this video was helpful:) I asked our TETRIX team about the stepper motor, and they said there is a good explanation at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stepper_motor. Let us know if there is anything else we can do to help!
Hi there! I ordered the tetrix channel, gears, motor mount, dc gear motor and the rack and pinion slide, but i cannot put it all together cause i cannot attach the pieces together, what product should i buy to be able to attach the gear to the dc motor or the pinion? are the screws particulary or you can use generic ones? thanks!!
+Gabriel Mellace - Thanks for contacting us! Your rack and pinion slide should have come with an instruction card that noted other components not included, and the socket head cap screws that can be used (6-32x5/16, and 6-32x1/2). These screws can be found at www.tetrixrobotics.com/Socket_Head_Cap_Screws. We have other hardware that can be used to connect your parts at www.tetrixrobotics.com/Fasteners_and_Hardware/TETRIX_MAX. If the selection is confusing, please visit www.tetrixrobotics.com/Support/ for support options.
It also says that the link is unavailable or does not exist
Ok cool thx for helping and I am in middle school we have robotics program is there anyway we could set up something to where we could learn more about Tetrix robotics because are having a little bit of trouble trying to integrate ev3 and Tetrix together maybe we could setup a google hangout call and we could ask you guys and or girls some questions about some of the things we are having trouble with if not it is fine
+Max Joos I'd like to pass on this request and see what we can do to help. Can you please email me at socialmedia@pitsco.com, so we can contact you if we need more information? Also, please try the link again that was unavailable, it should work for you now:)
What is this robot called
+Max Joos "EV3 Workshop bot” is what we refer to it as, but it doesn’t have an official name yet. Check back at www.TETRIXrobotics.com/builds periodically, we're looking at  adding this bot in the future under an official name.
