Presentation Transcript

  1. Light Emitting Diode: LED

  2. What is an LED? • Light-emitting diode • Semiconductor • Has polarity

  3. When current flows across a diode Negative electrons move one way and positive holes move the other way LED: How It Works

  4. The wholes exist at a lower energy level than the free electrons Therefore when a free electrons falls it losses energy LED: How It Works

  5. This energy is emitted in a form of a photon, which causes light The color of the light is determined by the fall of the electron and hence energy level of the photon LED: How It Works

  6. Transparent Plastic Case Terminal Pins Diode Inside a Light Emitting Diode

  7. Kinds of LEDs

  8. How to Connect a LED: • Requires 1.5~2.5V and 10 mA • To prevent overloading, use resistor 470 Ω

  9. How to Connect a LED:

  10. Connect LED to BS2 • LED is on when P0 is high • LED is on when P1 is low

  11. Connect Multiple LEDs to BS2 • 8 LEDs are connected to BS2 each I/O pin (P0-P7) is allowed to sink 6.25mA

  12. Case Study: Blinking LED

  13. Case Study: Blinking LED • Pbasic program to make an LED blink output 0 Main: low 0 pause 1000 high 0 pause 1000 goto Main Make pin0 an output Loop begins here Turn LED on Pause for 1 sec Turn LED off Pause for 1 sec Go back to beginning of loop

  14. Experiments • Flash an LED • Single LED • Multiple LEDs • Traffic Light by use of LEDs
