Ignition

Explore sensor events and sensor status.

Activity 1

Wait for a touch sensor press or ultrasonic object detection. Show an expression on the screen when they happen.

sensors.touch1.onEvent(ButtonEvent.Pressed, function () {
    brick.showImage(images.eyesDizzy)
})
sensors.ultrasonic4.onEvent(UltrasonicSensorEvent.ObjectDetected, function () {
    brick.showImage(images.eyesTiredMiddle)
})
brick.showImage(images.eyesSleeping)

Activity 2

Play some motor sounds if touch sensor 1 is pressed at the same moment when and object comes close.

while (true) {
    if (sensors.touch1.isPressed() &&
        sensors.ultrasonic4.distance() < 10) {
        music.playSoundEffectUntilDone(sounds.mechanicalMotorStart)
        music.playSoundEffectUntilDone(sounds.mechanicalMotorIdle);
    }
    pause(1);
}

Activity 3

Play some motor sounds if touch sensor 1 is pressed when both the enter button is pressed on the brick and an object comes close.

while (true) {
    if (sensors.ultrasonic4.distance() < 10 &&
        sensors.touch1.isPressed() &&
        brick.buttonEnter.isPressed()) {
        music.playSoundEffectUntilDone(sounds.mechanicalMotorStart)
        music.playSoundEffectUntilDone(sounds.mechanicalMotorIdle);
    }
    pause(1);
}
