Using LDR With Mblock and Arduino


In this application, we will make an LDR application with the Mblock program. LDR; It is a photoresistor that changes value according to the incident light. You can turn the lamp on and off according to the values ​​in the LDR. In this application, we will first learn to read the values ​​in the LDR, then we will flash the led.

Let's come to the circuit elements.

1-Arduino Uno (1 pc)

2-BreadBoard

3-220Ω Resistor(1pcs)

5-LDR(1pcs)

6-Jump Cables

We need supplies.

Our circuit diagram is as follows.

Using LDR With Mblock and Arduino

We connect a 220 ohm resistor to one leg of our LDR. We connect a cable to one leg of the resistor we connected and connect this cable to the 5 volt pin (blue cable) and we connect it to the other free leg of the LDR with a GND (- terminal) cable. Thus, we have prepared our circuit. It's time to write our code.


Mblock and Arduino examples

In the Mblock program, we add the Arduino program starter code from the Robots menu. After adding the repeat code from the control menu, we add our code to write to the serial port inside. In this code, we add the code to read the pin to whichever analog pin we connected our LDR to. We add the code to read the analogue pin from the Robots menu. We write A0 because I connect it to the danalog pin A0. Thus, our LDR will print the light value in the environment to the screen. This event is constantly In order for us to run these codes, after connecting our arduino board and circuit to the computer with a usb cable,


Mblock and Arduino projects

 we first select the Serial port from the Connect menu, let's choose the port to which our arduino board is connected from there. Select the letter case in both send encode mode and recv encode mode. After that, by pressing the Upload to Arduino button, we send the codes we wrote to our Arduino board and upload them. Thus, our program becomes ready to run.

To download the source code of the program CLICK HERE

To download the source code of the program CLICK HERE  (This program ise done with mblock 5 version)

Note: You can upload the codes to the arduino uno board by pressing the connect and upload buttons at the bottom of the screen respectively.




In the Mblock program, we add the Arduino uno starts up code from the Events menu. After adding the forever from the control menu, we add the code to write toserial port. In this code add to read analog pin (A) from the pin menu. Then, we add wait code from the control menu.

Pacman Game on Scratch Program

 We will make an example of pacman game making with Scratch. Before starting the Pacman Game example that we will do with Scratch, we download the background for the pacman game from the internet and add it to the backdrop part in Scratch. When the background I downloaded was dark, I painted the dark colors with white. I made the borders thicker. After adding our background to our work, it came to creating the pacman character. I drew a full circle in yellow for the Pacman character. After that, I drew two lines towards the center using the line tool. I erased the remaining part with an eraser. If you want, you can use the erase background tool to erase between two black lines. Thus, our pacman character took his place with his mouth open. I created a guide dot right in front of the pacman character. This will keep us moving. I created a red dot. It's a little obvious, you can make this red dot smaller if you want, you can give it another color and make it more invisible. After cre...

How To Make Bubble Shooter Game on Scratch Program

 We will make a bubble shooter game example with Scratch. I am adding 3 balloons and a target picture for the bubble shooter game we will make with Scratch. (You can increase the number of balloons). Now I come to the codes to be written inside balloon1. Let the number of balloons popped when the green flag is clicked is 0. Thus, the remaining numbers from the previous game are reset. Let the balloons be hidden at first. Then, it will appear in a random place between the coordinates we have determined at a random time between 1-5 seconds, wait for 2 seconds, then hide. X: The coordinates between -218/144 are the coordinates of the far left and the right of the screen, Y:134/-235 are the coordinates of the top and bottom of the screen. It will appear randomly in these ranges If our balloon is aimed and hit by the target; Balloon shot news is released. When this news reaches our balloon, the balloon will be hidden. Copy and paste the same code above.   Then we say duplicate...

Apple Picking Game with Potentiometer- Mblock with Arduino

 Before moving on to this application, we had done the LEDLighting with the Potentiometer. You can learn the installation of the potentiometer and the necessary materials here.   Let's write our codes in the Mblock program. First of all, find a background from the internet, we change the background from the scene section. I add 3 apples (you can increase the number of apples) and 1 basket from the new puppet part.   Here are the codes in Apples: Since the green flag is clicked, we add the code to get our variable number of apples 0, which we created from the data section. If we do not add this, the number of apples collected will continue from where it left off if the game was played before. We take the code that generates random numbers from the operations menu and add the code that generates random numbers into the code to go to the x and y point that we added from the movement menu so that the apples come out randomly in a horizontal place. Here, we write the start...
