Blink Sketch
The resistor limits the amount of current
Example Sketch: Blink
// the setup function runs once when you press reset or power the board
void setup() {
// initialize digital pin LED_BUILTIN as an output.
pinMode(LED_BUILTIN, OUTPUT);
}
// the loop function runs over and over again forever
void loop() {
digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, HIGH); // turn the LED on (HIGH is the voltage level)
delay(1000); // wait for a second
digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, LOW); // turn the LED off by making the voltage LOW
delay(1000); // wait for a second
}
In setup, we define the built-in LED(Pin 13) as an Output. You could assign another pin (2-12) as an output as well.
The check mark verifies that the code is grammatically correct, such as all statements end with semicolons, all functions are enc,osed in curly brackets {. }. the right arrow uploads it to the board. Make sure you select the correct board and port.
