OL1Beak

This is a multi part lesson where the same code is reused with addions and a few subtractions. The beak is the a single light at the front or nose of the Finch.

 Notes
Beak1
 use Libraries.Robots.BirdBrain.Finch
Finch finch
finch:SetBeak(100, 100, 100)
finch:Disconnect()

Color Parameters

  • Red intensity (Range: 0 to 100).
  • Green intensity (Range: 0 to 100).
  •  Blue intensity (Range: 0 to 100).
    Once you have run this code try changing the integers (SetBeak (0,100,0) makes green. What other colors can you make. 
Beak2
Block code Beak 2		 use Libraries.Robots.BirdBrain.Finch
Finch finch
repeat 3 times
finch:SetBeak(100, 0, 0)
finch:Pause(0.5)
finch:SetBeak(0, 100, 0)
finch:Pause(0.5)
finch:SetBeak(0, 0, 100)
finch:Pause(0.5)
finch:StopAll()
end
finch:Disconnect()

This code makes the beak blink Red, Green, Blue.
Pause make each blink last half a second.
StopAll turns off all the lights,
repeat makes the whole process happen 3 times. 

Explore what other light effects you can create.

 
Beak3
Block Code Image Beak 3		 use Libraries.Robots.BirdBrain.Finch
Finch finch
integer r=0
integer g=100
integer b =100
repeat until r=100
    finch:SetBeak(r,g,b)
    r=r+5
    g=g-5
    b=b-3
    finch:Pause(0.3)
end
finch:Pause(2)
finch:StopAll()
finch:Disconnect()

New: we are creating integers that change by addition  and subtraction while the program runs.

At the start red (r) is zero green (g) and blue (b) are 100. Then we create a loop that repeats until r = 100. Once r is 100 it skips down to the end and does the remain code. Each we loop we add 5 to r, subtract 5 from g, and subtract 3 from b. 

Feel free to change up the code to make a beak light show.  REMEMBER: r,g,b must be a whole number between 0 and 100. If you change the formulas and it create a a number that less than 0 or greater than 100 it will fail!
