LED Library for MicroBlocks

Welcome to the LED Library for MicroBlocks!
This library makes it easy for anyone—even if you don’t know how to code or use a computer much—to control a LED using simple blocks in MicroBlocks.

Features

  • Easy drag-and-drop blocks for controlling your LED.
  • No coding required.
  • Turn on & off the LED.
  • Control the brightness of the LED.
  • Beginner-friendly instructions.

Getting Started

What you need:

  • Spark microcontroller and connecting wires.
  • MicroBlocks IDE installed (Download here).
  • A LED and basic connecting wires.

Installation

  1. Download the LED Library:
    Download the library file from here.

  2. Open MicroBlocks IDE on your computer.

  3. Add the Library:

    • Go to the library manager in MicroBlocks.
    • Click “Import Library” or drag and drop the downloaded file into the IDE.

How to Use

  1. Connect your LED to your microcontroller’s pins (see your board’s pinout for details).

  2. Open MicroBlocks IDE and make sure your board is connected.

  3. Find the LED blocks in the blocks menu.

  4. Drag the blocks you want to use into your script area.

  5. Click the green flag or “Run” to start controlling your fan!

Examples

In these functions, you must specify the digital pin corresponding to the module you are using.

Example 1 This function accepts two values from you: one to turn the LED on, and one to turn the LED off.

Example 2 This function takes a number between 0 and 1023 to control the brightness of the LED.

Have fun building with your LED!
