Arduinos

I can do this! Arduinos are microcontrollers that are easily programmable to do an unlimited amount of things!

Goals & Objectives:

Let's code to make the LED blink. Learn the basics of coding.

Activity Instructions

  1. Make sure that the program Aurdino IDE is installed on your computer.
  2. Make sure you have a controller board, USB connection & LED light.
  3. Place the LED into #13 on the pin board.
  4. Open Aurdino IDE & paste the code blink below into the workspace.
  5. Send code to the Arduino
  6. Can you make the light blink faster/slower?
  7. Can you make it blink SOS?

Code Blink:

void setup() {

pinMode(LED_BUILTIN, OUTPUT); }

void loop() {

digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, HIGH);

delay(1000);

digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, LOW);

delay(1000); }
