today i am having an experience like no other literally because thanks to kano
sponsoring this video i will be the first person in the world
who gets to cover the harry potter cano
coding kit in their own words
you will build a wand for yourself
learn to code and you will yes this is a direct quote from the packaging wave
your coding wand
let's find out how that works
okay so the software is currently pre-released for this so i've gone ahead
and i've assembled an entire array of every device that the final product will
support so i've got iOS Android macOS and Windows but i'm going to go ahead
and as much as this is going to be a struggle for me i'm going to use the mac
os version of it because that's apparently the one that is the most
complete right now so we're not going to be having the entire experience because
it's not done i mean there is no entire experience
because you can like i've actually got some experience with the original cano
computer kit i built it with my son and he's actually used it quite a bit since
then and there's not really like um there's not like like a beat the boss
and it's over type thing like it's more of a of a learning product but we aren't
going to have even the entire pre-canned experience because it's not quite done
yet so
there we go so this is it come on over here
ollivander would be proud how to make a wand the handbook
go ahead and put that there
look at this they got like a little thing you just okay
all right so um snap click swish swish and flick
i haven't watched the movies in a while but i'm still getting i'm still getting
the references here oh wow there is a spell guide
stupefy wingardium leviosa
it's leviosa not leviosa no leviosa not leviosa
why do i know these things i'm sorry
i know i know lumos
so these are some of the gestures that you can do quick guide to one motions i
totally i totally want this poster like
regardless of the product i like actually would just buy this poster
uh what else we got here okay we could look at the instructions
that's a thick instruction book this is your wand it's made of plastic
rubber copper and electronics
okay got your wand tip got a lanyard so you
don't throw it into the tv wand handle wand brain
button and two aaa batteries let's build
your wand pick up this piece they really do make this stuff simple that was
something that i thought they did a great job of when i built the cano computer kit with my son i mean even he
was able to do it he wasn't even six yet okay pick up this piece got it
it's called a printed circuit board or pcb look closely at the parts oh that's
fun so there's your power controller so charging must come in somewhere near
there but i don't actually see it here's our processor here's an activity
light of some sort here's our codable vibration motor oh cool there's
vibration feedback so the bluetooth antenna this is fun actually this is
cool so a lot of people think that devices that don't have external
antennas don't necessarily have antennas but what they actually are is they're
generally copper on a printed circuit board so you can see in order to make
the antenna longer than it would otherwise be able to be they've gone and
they've snaked it like this neat right learned something every day here's some
sensors here's the button and then this is a coatable light so
you've got both vibration and light feedback
let's add some power turn the pcb over there you go so the batteries just go
right in there bippity boppity ha ha that's not harry potter never mind
that's where the batteries go okay so we got oh that is RGB like in that
our bluetooth looks like it's in pairing mode oh wow wow these are really step by step
slot the first i'm way ahead of you way ahead of you make sure your
batteries are facing this way got it
flip the pcb over make sure the blue light is on if not check the batteries
are the right way around got it inside this little black square are
three sensors a gyroscope that senses gravity so the wand will know which way
is up and down an accelerometer so the wand will be able to know how fast it's
going and a magnetometer to calculate the wand's direction
so gravity speed right it's almost looking like a like a spell guide now
we're getting there we're getting close
so it knows if you're moving it up down forward backward left right
fast or slow that's cool
so basically there's almost no limit if you can get your
muscle memory just right to what you could do with it okay more instructions
on how to put in the button i'm good i figured that out wow they really yup
they're making it simple flip it over make sure the button's peeping out i
think we got this this looked like heavy reading but
actually it's not pick up your wand with it you'll do great things
with the right movements the right words a bit of curiosity and courage look at
this when this then flame particles one x flame particles
one y that's cool can make feathers float flames flow
jelly beans grow and gorgio first challenge
let's use your coating wand to make a feather levitate
open the objects tray got this
drag the block onto your code space change seconds to milliseconds and open
the physics tray and drag this block right about there so
every one millisecond do object set position of all to x and y coordinates
of the wand cool so
drag this block into your code space throw that on to your x position
whoops boop there you go and then we also need the wand y
position there we go and then we open the physics tray and set the angle to
oh i see what we want to do so we want to change pitch to roll
that way we can roll the feather around very cool so you
can actually see a preview see that
so you can wave and roll your wand and watch the feather match your movements
and then uh reducto
you can choose what kind of beans you want we could do uh
regular beans and gorgio
can you guys hear the the uh the vibrating feedback oh i can't make them
any bigger okay reducto
i'm a wizard arie so we're gonna cast cast immobilis on a swarm of cornish
pixies will do change all to random and change 0 to 60
so they fly towards each other so this is going to be quite the swarm
of pixies then so this is creating our pixies
then we need to create a wand action to control these bloody
things we've got our one centered thanks to the power of block coding even
i was able to figure it out so now we can restart the program you
can see what happens is we have a bunch of pixie spawn and they're running all
over the place in zero gravity boom off it goes and then you go like this
and they freeze immobilize
last challenge now we get to create fire
this is actually the part i was waiting for first add a loop so we are always
generating particles one of the neatest things about the software is that you
can see what's happening in real time over on the side
so i can see that every one second is not great
so now every one millisecond now we get a
thousand times as much fire and then if i were to point my wand at the screen
here i'm just going to center it again boom
now i'm creating these these particles that are flying out from the point of
the wand so you can see the cursor there as well
there you have it summoning fire out of the wand
and you can follow along with absolutely everything that we changed so now
instead of having uniform particles we've made them clumpier we've made them
change color and we've made them go from bigger down to smaller so that you get a
much more realistic fire like effect with your wand so this
is just a small slice of what you'll be able to do with the harry potter cano
coating kit you will actually be able to
program actions for gestures and just
like the original cano the sky is the
limit in terms of your creativity so yes there's going to be
tutorials and demos and little challenges that you can complete if
you're looking to take a harry potter fan in your life be they small or
adult sized and introduce them to the power of coding but then
the real fun is to be had in the learning experiences that you can have
after you've completed the in the box challenges so
guys it's going to be available for 99.99 starting october 1st and you can
pre-order it right now at the link in the video description guys if you want
to find out more information you can check out the link in the video description thank you for watching and
thanks again to kano not only for sponsoring this video but also for
letting me be one of the first people in the world to experience this piece of
computing magic
