Broadcast after choosing a color (MicroBlocks)

[petermathijssen]

I made a block that will send the 25 values of all the color choosers to a micro:STEAMakers board. The board will then display the colors.

Every time I click the block all 25 values are send. Would it be possible to send a single value after I choose a color? So not when I click the block but after choosing a single color?

You can use

inside RGB DISPLAY's definition's block editor, but AFAIK you have to do it 25 times. Jens, should there be an ANY option with an upvar?

Thank you, will take a look. The idea is of course, like in MicroBlocks, to make the editing of the colors display live on the board.

What should I add in the empty drop down menu? I am missing something I guess.

You can use

Not with colour inputs! This only works for text editing. Edit: And Boolean slots.

@petermathijssen you could try something like this (hello block added to indicate that the balloon is updated only when the input is, and the "has changed?" block is found in "Events" library):

Thank you,

I tried a small sample. It is working. The colors on the LED are changing live. To bad I have to use a forever block around it. Learned again something new.

good idea, maybe with a (slot) upvar that says what slot was edited, kinda like the key and message blocks.
