EV3 home set + gyro = gyroboyharrie

[Harrie45]

When I bought the home version of Mindstorms EV3, I was disappointed that the gyro sensor was not included. So I bought the gyro sensor, and also the ultrasonic sensor, separately. Using the elements from the home EV3 set and the 2 sensors I made this model. (utrasonic sensor is optional)

Control via colored bricks, infrared remote or Android phone.Even infrared beacon following is included.

In case the optional utrasonic sensor is used it will avoid objects.

.lxf file for Lego Digital Designer is attached. Use Lego Digital Designer to generate better visible, but less logical, instructions.

The complete .EV3 file on request. (EV3 @ harrie.info -remove spaces)

Hi, I'd like to build your version of Gyroboy with my 2 grandkids.

Can you send me the .ev3 program file, if you don't mind.

Thankyou.

It looks fine.
I am too interested about the .ev3 file and most of all about the gyro sensor MyBlock. Thank you.

I tried downloading your gyroboyharrie.lxf file, but LDD always told me - Unable to open file ??????

Help: Why does Lego Digital Designer say - Unable to Open File - when I download gyroboyharrie.lxf from your post ?

Thank you very much for the files. You made a very good work.
In the .ev3 file, I can see 2 MyBloks which are named Gyro and Balance. Can you tell me more about this 2 blocks .

Hi Harrie, I'd like to build Gyroharrie with my 2 students.

Could you send me the .ev3 program file, if you don't mind.

Thankyou.

@Harrie45 I just found your GyroBoyHarrie. Would you share the code with me?

On Pybricks is the similar Gyro Boy, you can get the Python code for it and links to the Mindstorms building instruction:
