About this app
CardBot turns physical programming cards into real robot commands! Perfect for young learners and STEM enthusiasts, CardBot bridges the gap between tangible play and digital coding.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Scan physical programming cards using your phone's camera or NFC
2. Build a visual block program by arranging cards in sequence
3. See the real Python code generated automatically
4. Connect to your robot car via Bluetooth and run the program!
KEY FEATURES
📸 Card Scanning
Scan programming cards instantly using camera-based ArUco marker detection or NFC tags. The app recognizes 33 different programming cards across 4 categories.
🧩 Visual Block Programming
Drag and drop blocks to reorder your program. Each card becomes a colorful block that's easy to understand — no typing required!
🐍 Real Python Code
Every block program automatically generates real Python code. Watch the code update live as you add, remove, or reorder blocks. A built-in code editor lets advanced users edit directly.
🤖 Bluetooth Robot Control
Connect to your robot car via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). Run your program and watch the robot execute each command in real time.
🔍 Smart Card Search
Find any card instantly with fuzzy search or voice input. Browse the full card library organized by category: Control, Movement, Action, and Mode.
CARD CATEGORIES
🟢 Control Cards (11): Start, Go, End, Loops, Wait, If Obstacle, and more
🔵 Movement Cards (8): Forward, Backward, Turn Left/Right, Arc, Set Direction
🟣 Action Cards (7): Lights, Horn, Beep, Speed Control, Light Color
🟣 Mode Cards (7): Grid Mode, Tank Mode, RC Mode, Patrol, Dash, and more
PERFECT FOR
• Classrooms and STEM programs
• After-school robotics clubs
• Parents teaching kids to code
• Anyone curious about programming and robotics
No coding experience needed — CardBot makes programming as simple as playing cards!
