Pi pico Larson Scanner part 3

Following Saturdays STEM Group meet up, Where Vance has rewirtten my scanner program so that it is more efficient. I have included the new code below. I have now made an improvement by adding a 10 segment LED display and getting this working my modifying the code that Vance helped me with.

The new code, using an array to store pin numbers is below

#flash on board pico led
# updated 1/7/2023 - working code
import machine 
import utime

# Vance
led_pins = [11,12,13,14,15]

#delay = input("Time Delay: ")

#bind leds gpip to variables

leds = []
for pin in led_pins:
    # Set to output
    leds.append(machine.Pin(pin, machine.Pin.OUT))
    # Turn the LED off
    leds[-1].value(0) #off
    
    
utime.sleep(3)

delay = 0.1 #set delay

while True:
    # Led sequence upwards
    for led in leds: 
        led.value(1)
        utime.sleep(delay)
        led.value(0)
   
    # Led sequence downwards
    for led in leds[-1:0:-1]:
        led.value(1)
        utime.sleep(delay)
        led.value(0)

While my new code modification is here.

# use 10 led segment display
led_pins = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,]

Which is just 1 line of actual code and a comment. The result of this is presented in the video below. I had to resolder the board with the LED display on as it had some joints missing.

STEM Group 8/7/2022 Write up

A good session today, firstly we had Vance, who demonstrated some of his Microcontroller projects.

Neopixel

This project uses neopixel strips which are addressable and programmable. in this project the lights can flash change colour and record light level changes. A video can be found here

Microcontroller clock, the colours represent the hours, mins, and seconds. This was taken at about 10:30. A video can be found here

We also did some more Scratch, with people making good progress. Hopefully get back to Python at the next code club on the 22nd July. We also had a go at some Rocks and diamonds, which went really well. I have made some videos on making your own levels.

The LED project I am working on has also been rewritten with help from The code is now more efficient. I will make a new post about this.
