Slide 1 Title Slide	Welcome to the Spoken Tutorial on Control LED with Push Button using Electroblocks.
Slide 2 Learning Objectives	In this tutorial, we will learn how to Create blocks to control the LED using a Push Button Check the output of the experiment using the simulator
Slide 3 System requirement	To record this tutorial, I am using: Ubuntu Linux OS version 22.04 Google Chrome browser A working internet connection to use Electroblocks.
Slide 4 Prerequisite	To follow this tutorial, Learner should have a basic knowledge of Electroblocks
Type https://electroblocks.org/	Let us open the ElectroBlocks website using Chrome browser.
On the top tool bar, click on the New File/Blank File option. A pop-up window will appear—click OK to proceed. Point to loop block	Click on the New File/Blank File option to create a new circuit. Click OK in the popup window to proceed . We can see a loop block by default.
Show Circuit Diagram.png LED_ON.png LED_OFF.png Point to the push button in the circuit diagram	This is the circuit diagram of Control LED with Push Button. If the push button is pressed, the LED turns ON and waits for one second. If the push button is released, the LED turns OFF and waits for one second. Let us build this circuit using ElectroBlocks.
Slide 5 Required Section	We need the various blocks from the below section for this experiment. Logic Button LED Time
Switch back to the Electroblocks interface.	Switch back to the Electroblocks interface.
Keep the loop block in the middle area (compulsory) In the left panel, click on the Logic section Point to if-then- blockDrag and drop the block in working area Place the if-then block in the loop section.	Click on the Logic section. Select the if-then block and drag it to the working area. The if-then block is used to make decisions in your program. Place this block inside the loop block. Loop block repeats the program continuously in a loop.
Click the Sensors section and point to lis Select the Button setup block and drag it in the working area. Point to button setup block Point to pin 2 Click on the drop down option and change the PIN 4.	In the left panel, click on the Sensors section and select the Button. Next, select the Button setup block and drag it to the working area. Here we will set up the parameters for the button. By default the button is connected to pin 2 of the Arduino. Click the pin drop down and change it to pin 4.
Click on the Button section select the button is pressed block. Place this block in the if section of the if-then block Point to pin 4 in both the blocks	Again, go to the Button section. Select and drag the button is pressed block to the working area. Note that pin 4 is set by default as per the button setup block. Place this block in the if section of the if-then block.
Narration only In the left panel, click on the Add-ons section and Click on the LED section Select the first Turn a LED ON block and drag it in the working area. Place this block in the then section of the if-then block.	Next we will add an LED block. In the left panel, click on the Add-ons section and then Click on LED. Select the Turn a LED ON block and drag it to the working area. Place this block in the then section of the if-then block.
In the left panel, click on Time section Select the wait for 0.2 second block Drag it in the working area. Place this block below Turn a LED ON Change the time to 1 second Point to if then block Narration only	In the left panel, click on Time section. Select the wait for 0.2 second block and drag it to the working area. Place this block below the Turn a LED ON block. Change the time in the wait block to 1 second. We have set up the blocks to execute, if the button is pressed. The LED is turned ON for 1 second.
Click on Button section Drag and drop button is released block in the working area. Place it inside the loop block	Next we will setup for the Blocks to Turn OFF the LED Go to the Button section. Select the button is released block and drag it to the working area. Place this block below the if-then block, inside the loop blocks.
Right-click on LED block and select Duplicate option Place this block below the button is released block Change the LED state from ON to OFF	Now, we will need a block to turn OFF the LED. Right-click on the LED block and select the Duplicate option. A new LED block is generated in the working area. Place this block below the button is released block. Change the LED state from ON to OFF using the drop down. This turns the LED OFF when the button is not pressed.
Narration only Right-click on the wait for 1 second block and select the Duplicate option. Place this block below the Turn a LED OFF block.	Next, we will add a wait block. Right-click on the wait for 1 second block. Select the Duplicate option. Place this block below the Turn a LED OFF block.
Narration only Point to simulation area	We have completed the block creation for this experiment. Note that the circuit is auto generated on the right side as per the created blocks.
Click on the Code icon to view the auto-generated Arduino code for the experiment. Highlight the code on right side	On the top tool bar,click on the Code icon to view the automatically generated Arduino code. The code includes self-explanatory comments for better understanding.
Click the Home icon and press the Play button to start the simulation. Zoom and show the simulation area Highlight hand symbol and pressed word	On the top tool bar, click the Home icon and press the Play button to start the simulation. A hand symbol and the word "Pressed" appear near the push button. This indicates that the push button is currently pressed in the simulation. When the button is pressed, the LED turns ON for 1 Second When the button is “Released” the hand symbol disappears, and the LED turns OFF
Narration only	The XML file of this experiment is provided in the code files for your reference.
Slide 6 Summary Create blocks to control the LED using a Push Button Check the output of the experiment using the simulator	This brings us to the end of this tutorial. Let us summarise.
Slide 7 Assignment	As an assignment, do the following The LED should be ON continuously. Whenever the push button is pressed, LED should be OFF.
Slide 8 Thank You	Thank you for joining.
