Getting started

Make sure to install the TLOB library by copying the library files to your Arduino library folder/TLOB

Connect 3 leds 1 button to your arduino, one end connects to arduino pins and the other end to ground.

Then copy the template below and replace the pin numbers: tlob(led1, led2, led3, button)

// include the TLOB library

#include <TLOB.h>

// initialise the TLOB object with the name tlob

TLOB tlob(2,3,4,5);

void setup() {

}

void loop() {

// if the button is down

if (tlob.buttonDown()){

// turn all leds on

tlob.ledAll(HIGH);

} else {

// turn all leds off

tlob.ledAll(LOW);

}

// update the tlob object so that it knows if the button is up or down

tlob.update();

}

Now upload the code to your arduino, and hold press the button to check if all leds light up.

update()

It is recommended to call tlob.update(); once per loop, this will make sure that button variables are processed as expected and that blink functions will work correctly. Alternatively you can call tlob.updateLeds() and 'tlob.updateButton()` separately.

Functions

The TLOB library comes with a few functions and variables to make programming 3L1B games easier. It is recommendable to have a look at led(), blink() and buttonPressed() to begin with, but the other functions will surely be useful to you too.
