This is the second block of the Light section. It allows us to draw something in the 5x5 pixel matrix of the controller display.

The block has one setting we care about and it looks like this:

In the menu that opens we have the display pixels indicated by the orange arrow. There we can draw by clicking on the pixels we want to color. At the bottom there are two settings to light up and dim the entire display.

To the side, shown by the blue arrow, is a brightness setting. If you want dimmer pixels, you can lower the slider, and for brighter pixels, raise it.

While the robot is connected to the computer and the program is not stopped, the changes in the program image are also visible on the controller on the table in front of you, so we can experiment very easily!
