We will make a traffic light application with the Mblock program. Before moving on to the codes, the list of materials we will need in our traffic light circuit:
2-BreadBoard
3-3 LEDs
4-3 pieces of 220Ω Resistor
5-Jumper Cables
We need supplies.
Note: We need LEDs that give red, yellow, green light. If
you are going to use white colored leds, you need to identify the leds that
give the above 3 colors one by one before the application.
We add 220 ohm resistors to the long leg of the LEDs we add
to our breadboard. We connect one leg of the resistors with a jumper cable to
the digital pins 2,3,4 on our ardunio uno material (I connected the green led
to the digital pin 2, the yellow led to the number 3, and the red led to the
number 4). We connect it to the GND (negative) terminal. The circuit diagram is
given below.
Now let's come to
our codes in mBlock;
In the Mblock
program, we add the Arduino program starter code from the Robots menu. After
adding the code of repeat continuously from the control menu, we add the code
to whichever digital pin we connected our led to from the "Robots menu...
Set pin high, set digital pin no. 3 low, set digital pin no. 4 low, we only
light up our red led, our other 2 leds do not light. With the 10 second wait
code we added in this event control menu, the red light will turn on for 10
seconds, the green and yellow leds will not light up. After 10 seconds, we make
the digital pins 4 and 3 high so that the red and yellow leds light up together
for 2 seconds. Then, by making the digital pin 2 high, we make the green led
light up for 5 seconds. We make the other 2 leds go down by making them low.
The last operation is The yellow and green leds are turned on together, after
that, the operations return to the beginning with the repeat code and this
event will be repeated continuously. 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. 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.
