My first program ArduBlock

My first Arduino program was Blinking LED.

Install the LED on the Arduino board.
The long leg of the LED is a plus at 13 pin.
Minus LED to GND.

Let's write a program ­ Blinking LED.
Let's open the ArduBlock application.

Before us is the main block and two global functions.

Setting function ­ Makes settingsprograms,

establishes a connection, etc.Executed only once
and only ifturning on the
power of the Arduino board.
Function program ­ This is the main part of the program,
this is where the endlessly executable program is
collected.The program runs endlessly until the
boardArduino, power is on.
Turn on the LED! Light­emitting diode
In the block menu, open the section
Output modules ­ LED

Install the LED block into the main program block

Pin 13 Switch on signal.

My first program ArduBlock
If we load our program onto the Arduino board, we will see a simpleLED glow.
And our goal is to achieve blinking of the LED so thatwe continue to work
on the program.

When the LED blinks, we first turn on the LED for sometime and then turn it
off for a certain time, and so on forever, untilthe board will be powered.
Go to the Blocks MenuTime ­ Delay ­ Milliseconds.

Set the block Milliseconds 1000 = 1 second after the LED is turned on.

We read the program:

Infinitely
The LED will be
onfor 1 second

The LED is on for 1 second, now turn off the LED.

Duplicate the block
(right click a menu will open)

My first program ArduBlock
Change LED signal, Disable.

Set the unit LED off after the on time.

We also turn off the LED for 1 second or 1000 milliseconds.

Duplicate the Milliseconds block and set it after turning off the LED.

We read the program:

Infinitely.

The LED will be

onfor 1 second

Turn off the LED

for 1 second.

All this is in an endless loop of the program and will be

executedinfinitely while the board is powered.

Loading: OK. The program is already on the Arduino board!

2. Let's send the received values to the serial monitor:

Set the communication speed of the port monitor

Each time, on a new line, we will display the values

from an ultrasonic rangefinder:

The update period for sending the value is set to 200 ms.
Download the program to the Arduino board!

3. Let's open the serial port monitor:

Let's see the result.

Start:
