Sensor kit components

The sensor kit includes 2 IR transmission LED’s. These can easily be replaced with your own coloured or white LED’s.

When using the OUTPUT, HIGH and LOW commands, Logicator for PIC only recognises the B connectors as outputs . If you want to use an output such as an LED on the C connectors (such as the rear left and right connectors) then you will need to program a BASIC command block to do it.

Using a BASIC block to access connection C4 an output

This screen-shot shows a BASIC command block being used as part of a traffic light sequence. It sets C4 high (red LED) and C0 and B0 low (amber LED and green LED).
