Flashing Lights/Screen on Microbit
The idea is to go through all 25 pixels and randomly turn them on or off (status) and the brightness can be set as well.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 | def on_forever(): for row in range(5): for col in range(5): status = randint(0, 1) if status: led.plot(row, col) else: led.unplot(row, col) led.set_brightness(randint(0, 255)) basic.forever(on_forever) |
def on_forever():
for row in range(5):
for col in range(5):
status = randint(0, 1)
if status:
led.plot(row, col)
else:
led.unplot(row, col)
led.set_brightness(randint(0, 255))
basic.forever(on_forever)The Microbit provides the visualisation of the code in blocks:
microbit-flashing-lights-code-block
Another way is to convert number 0 to 25 to row and column.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 | def on_forever(): for i in range(25): row = i // 5 col = i % 5 status = randint(0, 1) if status: led.plot(row, col) else: led.unplot(row, col) led.set_brightness(randint(0, 255)) basic.forever(on_forever) |
def on_forever():
for i in range(25):
row = i // 5
col = i % 5
status = randint(0, 1)
if status:
led.plot(row, col)
else:
led.unplot(row, col)
led.set_brightness(randint(0, 255))
basic.forever(on_forever)The result is the following Microbit Simulator showing a flash light!
