3.3.1 Menu Bar¶
In Python Block Mode, the single-column area offers three different ways to interact with the project: Projects, Tutorials, and Local Terminal.
1. Project¶
Provides project management functions, including creating new projects, opening projects, saving projects, saving as, and renaming, to help users fully manage their programming projects.
| Features | Note |
|---|---|
| New Project | Create a blank project and clear all currently loaded extension instructions so you can start programming from scratch. |
| Load project | Load the saved project file to continue editing or running it. |
| Save Project | Save the current project to your computer and update the original file. |
| Save As | Save the current project as a new file. Users can specify the filename and location; the original project will not be overwritten. This is useful for creating backups or new versions. |
| Rename | Save the current project as a new file. Users can specify the filename and location; the original project will not be overwritten. This is useful for creating backups or new versions. |
2. learning¶
We provide a wide range of learning resources, including official documentation, online forums, video tutorials, and Example programs.
Note: The content of the Example program automatically adjusts based on the selected control board to facilitate hands-on learning.
| Features | Note |
|---|---|
| Official Documentation | Visit the official documentation page to access a wide range of tutorials |
| Online Forums | Visit the Mind+ official forum to explore a wide range of projects and engage in discussions. |
| Video Tutorials | If you're just getting started, you might want to check out some simple examples. |
| Example Program | Here is a sample program for the current main control board. Please note that you must first select the main control board in the "Extensions" section before the sample program will appear. |
3. Local Terminal¶
The local terminal is not just "a place to run Python programs"; it also serves as a hub for selecting environments and connecting to terminals, allowing you to switch freely between your computer, a local interpreter, the UNIHIKER M10, or remote devices to meet the execution needs of different projects.
| Features | Note |
|---|---|
| Default - Local Terminal | Connect to the current computer environment and run the Python program directly (run locally). |
| Default: 10.1.2.3 (example) | Connect to a recognized remote device (such as the UNIHIKER M10) to execute code. |
| Switch to the local Python installation | Change the version of the local Python interpreter (e.g., Python 3.8 or Python 3.10). |
| Create a new SSH connection | Manually establish a remote terminal connection (for devices that support SSH). |
| Open the Network Center | Access the network device management interface to manage remote connections and device status. |
