The Single Color LED is a light emitting diode (LED), which is capable of emitting a illuminating a single color. Red, green and yellow are the common colors. Support for this trinket is found in mDesigner.

Compatible Pins

The following pins on the Hub or mCenter+'s Hub support this module:

Hub

Pin Name Compatibility Notes
Pin 0 Yes Not recommended, since Pin 0 & 1 are used by mDesigner (serial communication).
Pin 1 Yes Not recommended, since Pin 0 & 1 are used by mDesigner (serial communication).

Blocks

Set Pin

This block sets the voltage level on the selected pin either to high or low.

  • When set to high, the Single Color LED turns on (illuminates).
  • When set to low, the Single Color LED turns off (no illumination).

  • Pin Number - the pin to configure the state of.
  • State - set the pin to "high" or "low" state.

Examples Uses

Set Pin PWM

This block sets the voltage level on the selected pin varying values. Values between 0 and 255 will cause the Single Color LED to turn on at different levels.

  • When set to 255, the Single Color LED is at maximum on.
  • When set to 0, the Single COlor LED is off.
  • When set to 127, the Single Color LED is half-way on.
  • Other values between 0 and 255 will turn on the LED at appropriate brightness levels.
Note: Only pins which support "Analog Write" will work correctly with this block.
*For Microduino / mCookie Core: Pins 3, 5, 6, 9, 10, and 11
*For Microduino / mCookie Core+, mCenter+: Pins 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 22, and 23

  • Pin Number - the pin to configure the state of. Note: Only certain pins support this ability. See above for which pins has this ability in your hardware setup.
  • Value - the value between 0 and 255 to set the pin to.
