Chapter 5 Action Composer

LED file

Flashing LED patterns are created and edited in the LED Window.

You can specify the duration and brightness of each LED flash.

All you need to do is select a brightness level for the LED and arrange the LED data in the LED

window. The vertical axis represents the LED and the horizontal axis represents time, so you can

specify patterns intuitively.

Tips

• Lights that have several LEDs (the ERS-210 tail light and ERS-310 series horn light) can emit mixed colors.

• You can play back LED data in the LED Window, but if you use the Preview Window, you can play back LED

data in combination with other elements and check the synchronization. If you use a wireless LAN, we

recommend that you test LED data on AIBO. For details, see “Executing tests on AIBO” (page 97).

Note

The ERS-220 retractable headlight opens and closes its cover in response to LED lighting. Do not turn the headlight

on and off within 500ms due to restrictions regarding opening and closing the structure. Please be careful because

Action Composer doesn’t have a function to check this.
