Programming

Step 1 Select light option from block palette, click on SET LED ON and HIGH block and drop it on a
workspace two times.

Step 2 Select time option from block palette. Click on wait 1000 microseconds block and drag and
drop it on a workspace two times.

Step 3 Make sure LED should be HIGH during the first drag drop
condition and LOW in the second condition. Run the code
and check the result.

Learning Outcomes

Students learnt about the interfacing of LED module with Tinker orbits brain and concept of delay.

Concepts

Interfacing of electronic components and software.

Programming: Learning to write simple code to control the blinking of an LED, reinforcing
programming concepts.

Time Measurement: Using timers in programming to control the duration of the LED blinking.

Understanding LEDs: Discussing the energy efficiency of LEDs compared to traditional bulbs and
their applications in saving energy.

Observations

In this activity, you can see how the LED blinks for a certain amount of time. By changing the “wait”
value in the code, you can actually change how long the LED stays on or off!
