This program controls a railroad crossing. This sample is using Jacdac modules to extend the micro:bit with programmable LEDs, servo and other sensors/actuators.
The servo
uses a servo motor move to move an physical arm. The servo
arm orientation is mapped to the wall clock hours: 0
(or 12
) is on rotated 90 degree from the resting position to the left, 6
is rotated 90 degree right from the rest position.
There is also a secret animation mode when you press the micro:bit logo button.
- when press button A, do servo set arm to 1 o’clock.
- when press button B, do servo set arm to 5 o’clock.
The LED
uses a programmable LED ring module to display blue and red colors.
- when press button A, do LED set all color to red, black and repeat.
- when press button B, do LED set all color to blue, black and repeat.
- when press button B, do LED show rainbow animation.
