Blocks

Set Pin

This block sets the voltage level on the selected pin either to high or low. In Arduino, this is know as a digital write (digitalWrite).

  • 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.

Set Pin PWM

This block sets the voltage level on the selected pin varying values. In Arduino, this is known as an analog write (analogWrite). 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.
