Blinking LED Breadboard

Description

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

Components Used

• Light Emitting Diode (LED)
• Resistor

Arduino Code

/* Blinking LED
* ------------
*
* turns on and off a light emitting diode(LED) connected to a digital 
* pin, in intervals of 2 seconds. Ideally we use pin 13 on the Arduino 
* board because it has a resistor attached to it, needing only an LED
*

int ledPin = 13; // LED connected to digital pin 13
void setup()
{
pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT); // sets the digital pin as output
}
void loop()
{
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
