Description:
Construct a flashing LED using the Arduino and an LED, using a potentiometer to moderate the through current. Copied and Pasted first Arudino code from Arduino website.
Components:
1 - Arduino
1 - Breadboard
1 - 220 Ohm Potentiometer
1 - LED
1 - Mac OSX with Arduino software installed
4 - Electrical wires for connecting components
Code:
/*
Blink
Turns on an LED on for one second, then off for one second, repeatedly.
This example code is in the public domain.
*/
// Pin 13 has an LED connected on most Arduino boards.
// give it a name:
int led = 13;
// the setup routine runs once when you press reset:
void setup() {
// initialize the digital pin as an output.
pinMode(led, OUTPUT);
}
// the loop routine runs over and over again forever:
void loop() {
digitalWrite(led, HIGH); // turn the LED on (HIGH is the voltage level)
delay(1000); // wait for a second
digitalWrite(led, LOW); // turn the LED off by making the voltage LOW
delay(1000); // wait for a second
}
