Outputs

The Start each time block

The Start each time block offers the option of running a program when a condition is fulfilled. Therefore, it works similar to a case distinction, but runs not only one time, but rather every time the condition is fulfilled during the entire course of the program. The Start each time block:

Is an abbreviation for the following construct:

You can insert all conditions from this category into the Outputs category in the Start each time block.

Note: The program section in the Start each time block should be kept short, and should not contain any blocking calls or endless loops, so that this part of the program can be processed quickly.

LEDs

Set

You can use the set motor speed to []... block to set the speed of a motor to a certain value (from 0 to 512). 

Call

You can use the get motor speed block to call up the speed of a motor and process it as a value.

Query

You can use the blocks if motor is running and if motor speed is ... to use the activity or speed of a motor as a condition.

Stop

You can use the block stop motor ... to stop a motor.

Compressor

Set

You can use the block set compressor [] to switch the compressor on or off.
