Arduino program to Blink a Light Emitting Diode LED
Write a program using Arduino to Blink a Light Emitting Diode (LED). Also describe the connections used in a circuit with the Arduino Uno development board.
Components Needed:
- Arduino Uno
- LED
- Resistor (for LED current limiting)
Circuit Connections:
- Connect the cathode (shorter leg) of the LED to the digital pin 13 on the Arduino.
- Connect the anode (longer leg) of the LED to the ground (GND) on the Arduino.
void setup()
{
pinMode(LED_BUILTIN, OUTPUT);
}
void loop()
{
// turn the LED on (HIGH is the voltage level)
digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, HIGH);
delay(1000); // Wait for 1000 millisecond(s)
// turn the LED off by making the voltage LOW
digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, LOW);
delay(1000); // Wait for 1000 millisecond(s)
}
