1、Switch 4 is pressed, then LED 6 emits strong light
Set the pin of “crash” program block to 4, and the state to press; set the “analog output” pin to 6, and assign 255 to it; set delay to 1000ms.

2、Switch 4 is pressed, and the LED 6 emits weak light.
Set the pin of crash to 4, and the state to press; set the pin of program block of “analog write” to 6, and assign 50 to it; delay 1000ms.

3、Switch 4 is pressed, and the LED 6 goes off.
Set the pin of “crash” program block to 4, and the state to press; set the pin of “analog write” program block to 6, and assign 0 to it; delay 1000ms.

4. So link the program blocks together, and choose the core and port to download program.
