Orbs

The orbs are the colored lights on the front of the robot.

Sample Code

#include <dragonfly_lib.h>
/*
 * Turns orb 1 to blue and orb 2 to purple.
 */
void turn_on_orbs()
{
    orb_init(); // must be called before using any orb code
    orb1_set_color(BLUE); // set orb 1 to blue
    orb2_set_color(PURPLE); // set orb 2 to purple
}
#include <dragonfly_lib.h>
/*
 * Turns orb 1 to a different shade of blue and orb 2 to a different shade of purple
 */
void turn_on_orbs2()
{
    orb_init(); // must be called before using any orb code
    orb1_set(0, 0, 124); // set orb 1 to blue (red=0, green=0, blue=124)
    orb2_set(124, 0, 255); // set orb 2 to purple (red=124, green=0, blue=255)
}
