The goal of this project was to make and LED light blink through an Arduino connected to a laptop.
Components Used:
- Arduino Atmel Board (I own a Atmel so I have decided to use that instead of an Uno)
- 2 Wires of Different Colors
- 1 220 Ohm resistor
- 1 Bread Board
- 1 Blue LED
Initially the LED was set to be HIGH and LOW every 1 second, I changed that to 2 seconds HIGH and 1 second LOW, for a more pleasant blinking experience!
My 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(2000); // wait for a second
digitalWrite(led, LOW); // turn the LED off by making the voltage LOW
delay(1000); // wait for a second
}
