This time, it´s the while Control block… With this block, while one condition is being met, other instructions are executed.
Let´s get on it!
You will need:
- 1 x ZumBloq LDR
- 1 x ZumBloq buzzer
- A ZUM BT 328 controller board or one compatible with Arduino UNO
- A USB cable
This block works in a very simple way, as we will see using an example:
In this program, while the light sensor is being read at over 400, the buzzer will sound. It´s an excessive light alarm! It usually works as shown in this diagram:
It´s very important to note that the quantity of light must be updated with every iteration of the loop. Otherwise when we enter the loop, we won´t be able to read the value of the sensor again, so we would never break out of it.
