Scratch board (Pico board) works with Scratch on the XO. There is no motor
control capabilities, but you can create projects using sensor inputs.

If you have a simple sensor that uses the micphone port on the XO, you
can also get sensor input in Scratch using the "loudness" value.

Good luck,

Claudia
