Story

Introduction:

While coming to the topic this is just an easy toy that can be made using our bolt module in our home itself. This is a simple toy with two LED's to indicate our presence in our work place. To indicate someone about our presence we can use this. By just keeping this toy at our place using two color of LED's we can notify others whether we are at our place or left it for some work.Let's see how to build it.

Setting Bolt module:

Connect the bolt module to the cloud as specified in the course.

Connecting bolt module

blue color indicates good power supply and green color indicates bolt connected to cloud

1.Hardware connections:

Choose two different colored LEDs. Here I am using orange to show that I am in the working place and Red color LEd to show that I am out of the place

Orange color LED positive terminal connected to the pin 0 to and negative terminal to pin GNG(ground ) terminal on module.

orange LED

Red color LED positive terminal connected to pin 1 and negative terminal to pin 2.

When pin 1 is High and 2 is Low, the Red LED comes on. In order to switch it off, we toggle pin 1 to Low while 2 remains low.

2.Connection in Bolt Cloud
