LED ON

Components (Things You will need)

Building the circuit

Things Needed:

• Arduino Uno = 1
• Arduino USB cable = 1
• Red LED = 1
• Red jumper wires = 1
• Blue jumper wires = 1
• Resistor =1

Mounting the component on the breadboard

Step 1: Take the breadboard, the  RED LED and insert it into the vertical connectors on the breadboard.

.

NB: Make sure you identify where the positive pin (+) and the negative pin (-) is connected to on the breadboard. The longer pin of the LED is the positive pin and the shorter one, the negative PIN.

WIRING THE CIRCUIT

Things Needed:

• Red male-to-male jumper wires = 1
• Blue male-to-male jumper wires = 1

Step 2: Connect one end of red male-to-male jumper wire to the positive pin of the white LED on the breadboard and the other end to hole number 6 on the Arduino UNO.

Step 3: Connect one end of the blue male-to-male jumper to the negative pin of the white LED on the breadboard and the other end to GND on the Arduino UNO. Connect a resistor to the negative of the led on the breadboard.

.

make sure you connect the arduino usb use blue cable to the Arduino board.

PROGRAMMING

Step 1: Open your Arduino IDE. 

Step 2: Type pinMode (6, OUTPUT);

Step 3: Type digitalWrite (6, HIGH);
