Recently I decided to break new grounds. I logged into amazon and ordered a breadboard , with couple of LED’s, some resistors and an Arduino Board. Most of you guys might have guessed towards where I am heading – Yes !!! I am going towards IOT
Just one correction – I am taking baby steps towards IOT . Giving a little background here, I never really studied electronics as a subject so I am totally a newbie in this domain but yea i have started gaining interest in interfacing hardware.
Plan is to put 4 LED’s on the breadboard and make them blink one by one …
So what all will you need?
- Breadboard
- LED’s
- Resistors
- Arduino
Steps to make it bLiNkInG
- Connect a Male to Male jumper wire to GND(ground) on the Arduino and the other end on the board
- get the LED connect the small side(negative) to the ground
- get a resistor(100 R) add the resistor to avoid any short-circuit
- Connect 5V on pin 13


Here is the code:
#define LED1 13
void setup() {
// put your setup code here, to run once:
pinMode(LED1, OUTPUT);
}
void loop() {
// put your main code here, to run repeatedly:
digitalWrite(LED1, HIGH);
delay(300);
digitalWrite(LED1, LOW);
delay(300);
}
This was it for the blinking LED’s, thanks for reading and stay tuned for some awesome stuff coming up soon.
Keep rocking and Take care
