The function runs the specified text message on the RGB LED of Quarky. You can also set the speed and the color of the text.
The example demonstrates using the Quarky touch display to make touch piano.

Function Definition: showscrollingtext(message = "Hi I am Quarky", speed = 1, color = [0, 0 , 0])
The function runs the specified text message on the RGB LED of Quarky. You can also set the speed and the color of the text.
Name | Type | Description | Expected Values | Default Value |
---|---|---|---|---|
message | string | The message which needs to be displayed. | String | "Hi I am Quarky" |
speed | int | Set the speed level: 1 (Slow), 2 (Medium), and 3 (High) | 1, 2, or 3 | 1 |
color | list | The color list with following values R - 0-255, G - 0-255, and B - 0-255 | [R, G, B] | [0, 0 , 0] |
Now we will connect the Ultrasonic Sensor to the Robot. The sensor and the robot have the following pins:
We will start with connecting the ultrasonic sensor with Quarky using the 4 set wire provided in the kit. But, first, make the connection in the following way:
sprite = Sprite('Tobi')
quarky=Quarky()
while True:
if quarky.readpushbutton("L"):
sprite.move(-10)
elif quarky.readpushbutton("R"):
sprite.move(10)
sprite = Sprite('Tobi')
quarky = Quarky()
while True:
if quarky.ispadtouched("T1"):
quarky.drawpattern("bbbjjbjjbjjbbjjbjjjbjjbjjjbjjbjjbbb")
quarky.playtone("C4", 8)
if quarky.ispadtouched("T2"):
quarky.drawpattern("cccjcccjcjjjjcjcjjcccjcjjcjjjcjjccc")
