👨🏽💻Micro:bit Fireflies
· 1 min read
My first attempt to write some (micro)Python code. Fireflies. This leds simulate fireflies in the air…
By the way, I found that display.get_pixel does not return the correct value for the brightness of a LED on a micro:bit. I created this function to correct this behavior in the code (fixPixelBug).
from microbit import *
import random
# This fucntions fixes the "display.get_pixel" bug.
# a full bright led does not return a "9" but a "255".
def fixPixelBug(brightness):
if brightness == 4:
return 3
elif brightness == 8:
return 4
elif brightness == 16:
return 5
elif brightness == 32:
return 6
elif brightness == 64:
return 7
elif brightness == 128:
return 8
elif brightness == 255:
return 9
else:
return brightness
while True:
sleep(50)
brightness = random.randint(1, 9)
x = random.randint(0, 4)
y = random.randint(0, 4)
if display.get_pixel(x, y) == 0:
display.set_pixel(x, y, brightness)
for fireflies in range(0, 5):
x = random.randint(0, 4)
y = random.randint(0, 4)
if fixPixelBug(display.get_pixel(x, y)) > 0:
display.set_pixel(x, y, fixPixelBug(display.get_pixel(x, y)) - 1)
