04. RGB LED
This example of digital output uses a RGB LED to display cyclically, every second, the three red, green and blue colors (see Figure 2). It can be managed from the Internet via start and stop commands.

1. Circuit
1. Circuit
Connect the RGB LED as shown in Figure 1:
- red PIN to d5,
- GND PIN to d6,
- green PIN to d7
- blue PIN to d8.
The longest PIN is the negative.
2. Sketch
2. Sketch
Write a sketch K to define:
- the output connections: r :: d5, gnd :: d6, g :: d7, b :: d8
- the commands to start and stop the system: start, stop
- the rules to implement the automaton in Figure 2
r :: d5gnd :: d6 g :: d7 b :: d8 start = [gnd=0,r=1] stop = [r=0,g=0,b=0] b==1 -> [b=0,r=1] ##1 g==1 -> [g=0,b=1] ##1 r==1 -> [r=0,g=1] ##1 or simply load the sketch in the workspace with the command
] load e04_rgb_ledNote: the automaton state is identified by the only LED on.

Try the following commands now:
] start
the RGB LED starts with the red, after 1 second becomes green, after 1 second becomes blue and after 1 second it resumes with the red
] pause
the LED stops
] play
the LED resumes
] stop
turns off the LED.
