==Combo component==
A component to drive the BL0114 Combo board including LEDs, Switches, LCD, 7-Segs  and analogue inputs.


==[[File:Component Icon d4c04ac8_bbcd_4981_8ce6_9d6c9bb1e26a.png|Image]] Combo (BL0114) component==
==Detailed description==
A component to drive the BL0114 Combo board including LEDs, Switches, LCD, 7-Segs
and analogue inputs.


Make sure both bank 0 and bank 1 are connected to the right ports in flowcode, which correspond to the ports the combo board is connected to on your E-blocks 2 upstream board. There are lots of component macros in flowcode 8, which you can use to read the input from one of the analog devices (potentiometer/LDR) as a byte or an integer, as well as doing many things with the LCD such as printing numbers, strings, formatted numbers or a character which corresponds to an inputted ascii value. There is also a component macro you can use to show a digit on one of the 7-segment displays. On the combo board there are also 16 switches and 16 LEDs, and in flowcode 8 there are component macros which can be used to read the state of a specified switch, or to set the state of a specified LED on the board. Before you can display anything on the LCD screen you must first put the ‘LCD_Start’ macro into the program.


==Examples==
''<span style="color:red;">No additional examples</span>''




==Downloadable macro reference==
