1.1.3 LED Bar Graph
======================
Introduction
-------------
In this project, we sequentially illuminate the lights on the LED Bar
Graph.
Required Components
------------------------------
In this project, we need the following components.

Experimental Procedures
------------------------------
**Step 1**: Build the circuit.
.. note::
Pay attention to the direction when connecting. If you connect it backwards, it will not light up.
.. image:: img/image66.png
**Step 2**: Go to the folder of the code.
.. raw:: html
.. code-block::
cd ~/raphael-kit/nodejs/
**Step 3**: Compile the code.
.. raw:: html
.. code-block::
sudo node led_bar_graph.js
After the code runs, you will see the LEDs on the LED bar turn on and off regularly.
**Code**
.. code-block:: js
const Gpio = require('pigpio').Gpio;
var pins = [17, 18, 27, 22, 23, 24, 25, 2, 3, 8];
var leds = [];
for (let i = 0; i < pins.length; i++) {
leds[i] = new Gpio(pins[i], { mode: Gpio.OUTPUT });
}
function oddLedBarGraph() {
for (let i = 0; i < leds.length; i++) {
if (i % 2 == 1) {
leds[i].digitalWrite(1);
} else {
leds[i].digitalWrite(0);
}
}
}
function evenLedBarGraph() {
for (let i = 0; i < leds.length; i++) {
if (i % 2 == 0) {
leds[i].digitalWrite(1);
} else {
leds[i].digitalWrite(0);
}
};
}
var odd_even = 0;
setInterval(() => {
odd_even = (odd_even + 1) % 2;
if (odd_even == 1) {
oddLedBarGraph();
} else {
evenLedBarGraph();
}
}, 500);
**Code Explanation**
.. code-block:: js
var pins = [17,18,27,22,23,24,25,2,3,8];
Because the led bar graph will use multiple pins, we create a constant array ``pins`` to store them in batches.
.. code-block:: js
var leds = [];
for (let i = 0; i < pins.length; i++) {
leds[i] = new Gpio(pins[i], { mode: Gpio.OUTPUT });
}
Instantiate these pins as leds objects with a for loop.
.. code-block:: js
function oddLedBarGraph() {
for (let i = 0; i < leds.length; i++) {
if (i % 2 == 1) {
leds[i].digitalWrite(1);
} else {
leds[i].digitalWrite(0);
}
}
}
Implement an ``oddLedBarGraph()`` function to make the LEDs on the
odd digits of the LED bar graph light up.
.. code-block:: js
function evenLedBarGraph() {
for (let i = 0; i < leds.length; i++) {
if (i % 2 == 0) {
leds[i].digitalWrite(1);
} else {
leds[i].digitalWrite(0);
}
};
}
Implement an ``evenLedBarGraph()`` function to make the LEDs on the
even digits of the LED bar graph light up.
.. code-block:: js
var odd_even = 0;
setInterval(() => {
odd_even = (odd_even + 1) % 2;
if (odd_even == 1) {
oddLedBarGraph();
} else {
evenLedBarGraph();
}
}, 500);
The working state of the LED is switched every 500ms.
