Connecting 3W Power LED with Surilli WiFi

In this tutorial, we will interface 3W Power LED with Surilli WiFi. By connecting the signal pin of 3W Power LED to Surilli WiFi pin 5, the 3W Power LED will start blinking ON and OFF after some period of delay and will give off an illuminating light.

What is 3W PowerLED Module?

The 3W Power LED Module is a very bright LED that works on either 3.3 or 5 volts. It is bright enough to be used for illumination.

Hardware Required:

Surilli WiFi.

Connecting Wires.

3W Power LED Module.

Breadboard.

Connections Between 3W PowerLED Module and Surilli WiFi:

G (3W Power LED Module) ---> GND (Surilli WiFi).

+ (3W Power LED Module) ---> USB (Surilli WiFi).

S (3W Power LED Module) ---> PIN 5 (Surilli WiFi).

STEP 1: Set Up Arduino IDE for Surilli

Make sure you have selected the right port, board and processor for the Surilli as shown in the picture below and it is programmable (compile and upload “Blink” from File>Examples>Digital>Blink onto your Surilli to check if everything is working fine).

STEP 2: The Circuitry

The circuitry is very simple. It's mostly the programming. Follow the figure below to set up your hardware.

STEP 3: Upload and Burn Code Onto Surilli

Now you have completed setting up your hardware and Arduino IDE. Copy and paste the Arduino sketch given below into your Arduino IDE and hit upload.After it is uploaded, the LED will start blinking ON and OFF after a few periods delay and will give off an illuminating light.

Arduino Code:

void setup() {
pinMode(5, OUTPUT);
}
void loop() {
digitalWrite(5, HIGH);   
delay(1000);              
digitalWrite(5, LOW);    
delay(1000);              
}

Play with the program to see how it reacts to different values and logic.
