C/C++
// BreakoutBros Relay Tutorial 
// 2016
//This tutorial is using the RoboRed Arduino from Yourduino
//Along with parts from the Elegoo Uno R3 Complete Starter Kit


void setup() {
 // initialize digital pin 3 as an output.
 pinMode(3, OUTPUT); 
}

//The main loop will continue to run until the arduino loses power
void loop() {
 digitalWrite(3, LOW); // turn the relay off to start
 delay(3000); // wait for 3 seconds
 digitalWrite(3, HIGH); // turn the relay on to turn on the light
 delay(3000); // wait for 3 seconds 
 
}
