Sensors

The output will be a Color & Distance sensor which will be detecting motion in front of the building’s street.

Ports

Daily Bugle will require one output port on an EV3 hub to connect a sensor. Sensor will be sending signal to the tower light through a wire.

Variables/Settings

Status: When a vehicle passes in front of the tower, status switches to on. When on, the red light on the tower will blink at interval of 3 seconds. Status returns to off after that.

Interval can be changed

IOT Loop

In this example, the location is only available when recently requested:

While True

    IF status == "on" THEN

        LocationStatus = TRUE
        RotateMotor to 0

        IF counter % 3 == 0 THEN

        Turn off the light

        ELSE

        Turn on the light

        ENDIF
    ENDIF

ENDREPEAT
