Arduino blinking LEDs

This project series is a means by which I am testing out the various ways of blogging similar projects easily.  So they are not designed to be instructional as such, more a testbed.  Having said that, if they are useful, feel free to use them and have fun!

Blinking LEDS

What the Project Does:

  • We are going to make 5 LEDs turn on and off, one after the other.

What are we Learning?

  • How to write a simple Arduino sketch, with comments
  • How to allocate input/output pins and set them high or low.
  • How to connect LEDs correctly to the Arduino board.
