LED

Eliobot LED

Eliobot LEDs are RGB LEDs, they can display any color by mixing the three basic colors: red, green and blue.

Use with Elioblocs​

To use Eliobot LEDs on Elioblocs, we use blocks from the test bouton category.

Use with Python​

To use the led in python, simply create an object using the neopixel library.

The LED is on the specific pin NEOPIXEL, or using IO1 directly.

Elioblocs example​

exemple led elioblocs

We turn the LED on then off continuously, waiting 1 second between each action so that we can see the color change.

Python example​

import board
import neopixel
import time

led = neopixel.NeoPixel(
                    board.NEOPIXEL, # LED pin
                    1, # Number of LEDs
                    brightness=0.2, # LED brightness
                    auto_write=False, # Do not update LED automatically
                    pixel_order=neopixel.GRB # Color order
                    ) # Create LED object

while True:
    led.fill((255, 0, 0)) # Turn LED red
    led.show() # Display color
    time.sleep(1) # Wait 1 second
    led.fill((0, 0, 0)) # Turn LED off
    led.show() # Display color
    time.sleep(1) # Wait 1 second

Same principle as with Elioblocs, we turn the LED on then off continuously, waiting 1 second between each action so that we can see the color change.
