LED Lighting with Potentiometer

 We will make this application in the Mblock program. Before moving on to the codes, the list of materials to be needed in our potentiometer and led burning circuit:

 1-Arduino Uno

2-BreadBoard

3-1 pcs LED

4-1 pcs 220Ω Resistor

5-Jumper Cables

6-Potentiometer

We need these supplies.

 

We add 220 ohm resistors to the long leg of the Led, which we added to our breadboard. We connect one leg of the resistor with a jumper cable to digital pin 8 in our ardunio uno material. We connect the short leg of the LED to the GND (negative) terminal of the Ardunio Uno with a jumper cable. The potentiometer has 3 legs. We connect the middle leg to the Analog pins with a cable. I connected it to analog pin A0. We connect the leg on the protruding part of the potentiometer with a 5V cable. We connect it to GND with the other leg. The circuit diagram is given below.

LED Lighting with Potentiometer


Code part;

In the Mblock program, we add the Arduino program starter code from the Robots menu. After adding the repeat code continuously from the control menu, we add the code to whichever digital pin we connected our led to from the "Robots menu ... If it is not, we check it with the command.If the value of the potentiometer on the A0 pin is less than 512, set pin 8 high and turn on our led (if it is, we add the green code in the operations menu and the other code in the robots menu) If the value is greater than 512, our led will turn on. In order for us to run these codes, we connect our arduino board and circuit to the computer with a usb cable, first we select the Serial port from the Connect menu, let's choose the port to which our arduino board is connected from there. Arduino Uno from the cards menu (or choose which board you are using) After selecting, Edit Select the Arduino mode from the menu and press the Upload to Arduino button, we will send the codes we have written to our Arduino board. Thus, our program becomes ready to run.

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...

Blinking LED with Mblock and Arduino

  We will blink the led with the mblock program. The list of materials that will be used in our led circuit before moving on to the codes of the application we will make with the Mblock program: 1-Arduino Uno 2-BreadBoard 3-LED 4-220Ω Resistor 5-Jumper Cables We need supplies. We add a 220 ohm resistor to the long leg of the Led that we added to our breadboard. We connect one leg of the resistor with a jumper cable to the digital pin 8 of our ardunio uno material (You can connect your jumper cable to any digital pin you want between 2-13). The circuit diagram is 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 forever from the control menu, we add the code to whichever digital pin we connected our led to the inside of the "Robots menu ... we add the code to make the pin low. We write 8 because I connect it to digital pin 8. We do not light our led with the code of s...
