Blinking LED Breadboard

Project Members: 
Lora Oehlberg

Description

In this lab I setup a breadboard with a blinking LED, controlled by the Arduino board.

Components Used

  • Arduino
  • Breadboard
  • Resistor (Green-Brown-Red-Gold)
  • Red LED

Arduino Code

/*
* Blink
*
* The basic Arduino example. Turns on an LED on for one second,
* then off for one second, and so on... We use pin 13 because,
* depending on your Arduino board, it has either a built-in LED
* or a built-in resistor so that you need only an LED.
*

*/

int ledPin = 13; // LED connected to digital pin 13

void setup() // run once, when the sketch starts
{
pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT); // sets the digital pin as output
}

void loop() // run over and over again
{
digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH); // sets the LED on
delay(1000); // waits for a second
digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW); // sets the LED off
delay(1000); // waits for a second
}

The problem with being so thorough in your report is that I could see you used the wrong resistor. A problem I might not have caught otherwise :)

Do you know what effect this has on the circuit?
