Programming
Required Program Blocks
Programming Thought
Press the touch button 2, and you will see the effect of green breathing lamp; press the touch sensor 2, and you will see the effect of blue breathing lamp.
Start to Program
ColorLED prepare, control the green breathing effect through touching the touch button 4.
If touch sensor 4 is pressed, "every time" will be used to make the green LED change from weaker to the brightest gradually, implementing the effect of breathing lamp. If the touch sensor keeps being pressed down, the green light repeat breathing in cycle.
Effect of blue breathing lamp
If touch button 2 is pressed, "every time" will be used to make the blue LED change from the brightest to weaker, implementing the effect of breathing lamp. If the touch button keeps being pressed down, the blue light will repeat breathing in cycle.
Test the result
Keep holding touch button 4, and you will see the effect of green breathing lamp. Keep holding touch button 2, and you will see the effect of blue breathing lamp.
Set up a constellation projection lamp with lego. Draw your own constellation diagram and stellar map on the paper, with circles representing the stars; Poke the stars with scissor or nib, letting the light in.
