Description

Use the Arduino to control a light emitting diode and make it blink in different rate.

Components Used

• Light Emitting Diode (LED)
• Resistor

Arduino Code (modified)

/*
  Blink
 
 Turns on an LED on for two seconds, then off for .5 second, repeatedly.
 
 The circuit:
 * LED connected from digital pin 13 to ground.
 
 * Note: On most Arduino boards, there is already an LED on the board
 connected to pin 13, so you don't need any extra components for this example.
