Today we explored how to use Crumble- a programming software that can be synced to LED’s.

Firstly, we had to connect the Crumble board to the switch and lights using the crocodile clips in order for the circuit to work. I worked with Hannah and we were able to correctly link up the LED’s to the Crumble board, battery pack and switch.

We began by exploring how to set instructions on Crumble, this program is similar to Scratch in the way that we have to program the lights to turn on and off and change colour through step by step instructions. I quickly understood how to program Crumble to make sequences of LED light patterns, making the lights change colour, flash, turn on and turn off.

Once we had set our chosen instructions we could sync it to the Crumble board via USB cable. I chose to set a sequence to make the LED lights flash different colours after a 2 second wait. This then meant the LED’s would turn on and off and change colour in the patterns I had set.
