Tilt Light Switch

Code

The code in the editor below is ready to run! Plug Code Lab Mini in to your computer's USB port, make sure that your Code Lab Mini Sensor Trio Add-On (sold separately) is attached, and hit 'Upload Your Code!' to see what it does. Change something in the code, like a delay or pin number. Try to add something new to the program - it's yours to tinker with! You can always press the 'Restore' button to return the code to the working example.

If you haven't set up your Code Lab Mini Sensor Trio Add-On yet, visit Chapter 0 to watch a video showing you how to do that.

Tilt right to turn it off. void setup(){ pinMode(8,OUTPUT); //LED light pinMode(A4,INPUT_PULLUP); //Left tilt sensor } void loop(){ if(digitalRead(A4)==LOW){ //If the tilt sensor reading is LOW (Code Lab Mini is tilted left) digitalWrite(8,HIGH); //turn on the LED light } else{ //otherwise, if the board isn't tilted left... digitalWrite(8,LOW); //turn off LED 8 } } // (c) 2023 Let's Start Coding.
