Story

Today I will look at the LED flicker.

Introduction

LEDs are small, powerful lights that are used in many different applications.

To start off, we will work on blinking an LED, the Hello World of microcontrollers. That’s right – it’s as simple as turning a light on and off. It might not seem like much, but establishing this important baseline will give you a solid foundation as we work toward more complex experiment.

HOW

First, install the LEDs on the breadboard.

Next, connect the wire to ground and digital 11.

Did you do it?

Let's turn on the LED light using the attached code.

Did you succeed?

Can you see the twinkling light coming in from the bulb?

Review

I wanted to include the success in the picture, but unfortunately I could not shoot because I was gibberish. And this is my first fab-wrap challenge. So it came to me more and more and it was still a simple challenge that remained in my head. I am expecting my challenge to be challenged in the future.

BLINKING AN LED
Turn an LED on for one second, off for one second,
and repeat forever.

with lots of help from the Arduino community.

//The setup function runs once upon your Arduino being powered or once upload is
//complete.
void setup()
{
//set pin 13 to OUTPUT
pinMode(13, OUTPUT);
}
//The loop function runs from the top down and repeats itself until you upload new
//code or power down your Arduino
void loop()
{
//Turn pin 13 HIGH (ON).
digitalWrite(13, HIGH);
//wait 1000 milliseconds (1 second)
delay(1000);
//Turn pin 13, LOW (OFF)
digitalWrite(13, LOW);
//wait 1000 milliseconds
delay(1000);
}

Looking back on my childhood, I was happy when I was making something and I was proud of myself. "Making is instinct!"
