Block category: Signal Consumer

Input: Scalar.

Description: The light block is a tri-state indicator that you can customize with color, images, and sound. You define the three states (lower, safe, and upper) for the indicator by specifying upper and lower bounds for the signal, then assigning a color, image, or sound to each state.

When you apply both a color and an image to a specific state, Embed displays the image.
