EV3 Motors, how do you turn using the blocks in App Inventor?

I am trying to get my EV3 Lego Mindstorm to turn left or right using the blocks available from the EV3Motor Component in App Inventor. I do not see any block that allows me to set two different motors different speeds or to turn one forward and the other motor backward to spin the robot.

I have not problem moving the robot forward or backward.

Does anyone know how to do this.

Turn one motor forwards and one motor backwards ?

Hi, thanks for the reply. I do not see any block that allows me to set them independently.

In ChatGPT I found the following:
Call EV3Motors.MoveForward port = "B", power = 50, milliseconds = 1000
Call EV3Motors.MoveBackward port = "C", power = 50, milliseconds = 1000

However, there is no block called MoveForward or MoveBackward.

Don't trust ChatGPT :wink: We see more users posting code from ChatGPT that doesn't work or is wrong.

Hi, I normally don't either but I thought I would check to see it pointed to something that I haven't used or seen.

Here is an older tutorial that shows how to use the accelerometer and the Ev3Motors component to drive an Ev3:

Hi, Thanks for the reply. I have not tried that, I will give it a try.
