Blinking Multiple Leds (Black Lightning) - With Mblock

 Before this application, we had blinked a single led. In this application, together with the Mblock program, we will make more than one led blinking, in other words, black lightning. The list of materials that our program will need in our led circuit before proceeding to the codes:

1-Arduino Uno

2-BreadBoard

3-7 LEDs

4- 7 pieces of 220Ω Resistor

5-Jumper Cables

We need supplies.

We add a 220 ohm resistor to the long leg of the LEDs we add to our breadboard. We connect one leg of the resistor with a jumper cable, starting from the digital pin 2 of our ardunio uno material, to the 8th pin. We connect the short leg of the LED to the GND (negative) terminal of the Ardunio Uno with a jumper cable. However, since there are 3 GND terminals on our arduino uno board, we connect the jumper cables that we connect to the short leg of the leds to the + or - terminals at the bottom of our breadboard. The cables must be aligned, we can connect the cables horizontally in the + or - section. After collecting our cables in this region, we can connect them to the GND terminal with a single cable. The circuit diagram is given below.

I will blink the leds with a for loop. Without the for loop, we would have to turn the leds on and off one by one. This would cause our code to be longer. First of all, we add our Arduino program code from the Robots section. Since our LEDs will blink continuously, we add the forever code from the Control menu. We create a data called counter (which will hold our digital pin) from the data&blocks menu. What we call the counter 2 is our digital pin number 2. For example, if you start from pin 5, you should say the counter is 5. Since we added 7 LEDs, we repeat it 7 times. We add our Counter data into the code to make the numeric pin high. Our starting counter was 2. In other words, it will make pin 2 high and light the led. And after increasing the counter data by 1 and waiting for 1 second, it will make the other digital pin high. By repeating these operations 7 times, our 7th led will light up. After exiting this loop, we say that the counter is 8. So our 7th led is connected to 8th digital pin. We create a loop that will repeat 7 times again. This time, we start by making our 8th digital pin low, that is, by turning off our 7th led. Then we turn off the previous led by decreasing the counter data by one. This process continues 7 times until our 1st led goes out.

In order for us to run these codes, after connecting our arduino board and circuit to the computer with a usb cable, we first select the Serial port from the Connect menu, let's choose the port to which our arduino board is connected from there. From the boards menu, choose Arduino Uno (or choose which board you are using) After selecting it, choose the Arduino mode from the Edit menu. And 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.

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.

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...

How to Make Countdown a Maze Game on Scratch

  We will make a countdown maze game example with Scratch. For the countdown maze game example we will make with Scratch, we upload the maze picture we downloaded to our computer from the scene section to the scratch program. Then we select the object that we will move in the maze section from the choose a sprite section and add it to our scene. We bring the object to be moved to the red point, which is the starting point. First of all, we create a variable named Duration to calculate the elapsed time in the maze from the "Variables" menu When you click the green flag, set the duration variable to 40. Our goal is to get the ball to the finish line in 40 seconds. If our ball object to move, we give the x and y coordinates to go to the red starting point. Our object will not move only once. First of all, we add the "Forever" code from the "Control" menu so that it moves every time we press the arrow key. Now it's time to check which direction key is pres...
