Description

I connected the Arduino to a resistor and LED. Code was modified and uploaded to the processor to make the LED blink. It worked!

Components Used

• Light Emitting Diode (LED)
• Resistor
• Breadboard
• Arduino

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(500); // waits for HALF a second
digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW); // sets the LED off
delay(500); // waits for HALF a second
}
