The light is measured by the LED matrix. You can select the light sensor by dragging the block from the Input section into the number block. With this block you can change the colour you want to display. Simply click on the red tap and choose another colour from the menu. To turn the LED off, you can use the "turn build-in led off“ block or put the value "0“ on the name of the color.

The speaker
You can play individual notes or music pieces. Simply open the Music section and drag the "play tone 262 Hz for 1 beat“ and chance the value of the tone to see how you can adjust the height of the note.
