# What Color is it?
|
||||
|
||||
## Introduction @fullscreen
|
||||
|
||||
Use the Color sensor to detect different colors.
|
||||
|
||||
![Simulator view with color sensor](/static/tutorials/what-color/color-detector.gif)
|
||||
|
||||
## Step 1
|
||||
|
||||
Open the ``||brick:Brick||`` Toolbox drawer. From the **Screen** section, drag out a ``||brick:show string||`` block onto the Workspace, and drop it into the ``||loops:on start||`` block.
|
||||
|
||||
```blocks
|
||||
brick.showString("Hello world", 1)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Step 2
|
||||
|
||||
In the ``||brick:show string||`` block, type the text ``"What color?"`` replacing ``"Hello World"``.
|
||||
|
||||
```blocks
|
||||
brick.showString("What color?", 1)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Step 3
|
||||
|
||||
Open the ``||sensors:Sensors||`` Toolbox drawer. Drag out **3** ``||sensors:on color sensor detected||`` blocks onto the Workspace (you can place these anywhere).
|
||||
|
||||
```blocks
|
||||
sensors.color3.onColorDetected(ColorSensorColor.Blue, function () {
|
||||
|
||||
})
|
||||
sensors.color3.onColorDetected(ColorSensorColor.Blue, function () {
|
||||
|
||||
})
|
||||
sensors.color3.onColorDetected(ColorSensorColor.Blue, function () {
|
||||
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Step 4
|
||||
|
||||
In the ``||sensors:on color sensor detected||`` blocks, use the second drop-down menu to select Red, Green, and Yellow colors.
|
||||
|
||||
```blocks
|
||||
sensors.color3.onColorDetected(ColorSensorColor.Red, function () {
|
||||
|
||||
})
|
||||
sensors.color3.onColorDetected(ColorSensorColor.Green, function () {
|
||||
|
||||
})
|
||||
sensors.color3.onColorDetected(ColorSensorColor.Yellow, function () {
|
||||
|
||||
})
|
||||
brick.showString("What color?", 1)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Step 5
|
||||
|
||||
Open the ``||brick:Brick||`` Toolbox drawer. From the **Buttons** section, drag out a **3** ``||brick:set status light||`` blocks onto the Workspace, and drop one of them each into the ``||sensors:on color detected||`` blocks.
|
||||
|
||||
```blocks
|
||||
sensors.color3.onColorDetected(ColorSensorColor.Red, function () {
|
||||
brick.setStatusLight(StatusLight.Orange)
|
||||
})
|
||||
sensors.color3.onColorDetected(ColorSensorColor.Green, function () {
|
||||
brick.setStatusLight(StatusLight.Orange)
|
||||
})
|
||||
sensors.color3.onColorDetected(ColorSensorColor.Yellow, function () {
|
||||
brick.setStatusLight(StatusLight.Orange)
|
||||
})
|
||||
brick.showString("What color?", 1)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Step 6
|
||||
|
||||
In the ``||brick:set status light||`` blocks, use the drop-down menu to change the lights to Red, Green, and Orange corresponding to the different colors detected. There is no Yellow status light, so we’ll use Orange instead.
|
||||
|
||||
```blocks
|
||||
sensors.color3.onColorDetected(ColorSensorColor.Red, function () {
|
||||
brick.setStatusLight(StatusLight.Red)
|
||||
})
|
||||
sensors.color3.onColorDetected(ColorSensorColor.Green, function () {
|
||||
brick.setStatusLight(StatusLight.Green)
|
||||
})
|
||||
sensors.color3.onColorDetected(ColorSensorColor.Yellow, function () {
|
||||
brick.setStatusLight(StatusLight.Orange)
|
||||
})
|
||||
brick.showString("What color?", 1)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Step 7
|
||||
|
||||
Open the ``||music:Music||`` Toolbox drawer. Drag out **3** ``||music:play sound effect||`` blocks onto the Workspace, and drop one of them each into the ``||sensors:on color detected||`` blocks after the ``||brick:set status light||`` block.
|
||||
|
||||
```blocks
|
||||
sensors.color3.onColorDetected(ColorSensorColor.Red, function () {
|
||||
brick.setStatusLight(StatusLight.Red)
|
||||
music.playSoundEffect(sounds.animalsCatPurr)
|
||||
})
|
||||
sensors.color3.onColorDetected(ColorSensorColor.Green, function () {
|
||||
brick.setStatusLight(StatusLight.Green)
|
||||
music.playSoundEffect(sounds.animalsCatPurr)
|
||||
})
|
||||
sensors.color3.onColorDetected(ColorSensorColor.Yellow, function () {
|
||||
brick.setStatusLight(StatusLight.Orange)
|
||||
music.playSoundEffect(sounds.animalsCatPurr)
|
||||
})
|
||||
brick.showString("What color?", 1)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Step 8
|
||||
|
||||
In the ``||music::play sound effect||`` blocks, use the drop-down menu to select the ``colors red``, ``colors green``, and ``colors yellow`` sound effects corresponding to the different colors detected.
|
||||
|
||||
```blocks
|
||||
sensors.color3.onColorDetected(ColorSensorColor.Red, function () {
|
||||
brick.setStatusLight(StatusLight.Red)
|
||||
music.playSoundEffect(sounds.colorsRed)
|
||||
})
|
||||
sensors.color3.onColorDetected(ColorSensorColor.Green, function () {
|
||||
brick.setStatusLight(StatusLight.Green)
|
||||
music.playSoundEffect(sounds.colorsGreen)
|
||||
})
|
||||
sensors.color3.onColorDetected(ColorSensorColor.Yellow, function () {
|
||||
brick.setStatusLight(StatusLight.Orange)
|
||||
music.playSoundEffect(sounds.colorsYellow)
|
||||
})
|
||||
brick.showString("What color?", 1)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Step 9
|
||||
|
||||
Now, let’s download our program to the brick. Plug your @boardname@ into the computer with the USB cable, and click the blue **Download** button in the bottom left of your screen. Follow the directions to save your program to the brick. Attach a Color Sensor to Port 3 of your brick. Test your program by flashing Red, Green and Yellow colored paper or use LEGO bricks in front of the Color Sensor.
