Introduction

The RGB (Quarky Intellio) extension allows users to control the RGB LED of Quarky Intellio directly from PictoBlox. It provides blocks and Python functions to adjust the color and brightness of the RGB LED, switch it off, and customize individual color components (Red, Green, Blue).

Using this extension, you can:

  • Set the LED color to any combination of Red, Green, and Blue.
  • Adjust the brightness of the RGB LED (0-100).
  • Turn the RGB LED off when not needed.
  • Retrieve and set individual Red, Green, and Blue values.
  • Modify the LED color using the HEX code for precise control.

This extension is useful for creating interactive lighting effects, visual feedback, and color-based indicators in Quarky Intellio-based projects.

Connecting Quarky Intellio with PictoBlox

Let’s begin by first connecting Quarky Intellio to PictoBlox. Follow the step-by-step instructions in the Quarky Intellio Connection Guide to establish the connection.
