Arduino Uno Introduction
Light up LED 13 on an Arduino Uno
- Open the Arduino IDE and create a new sketch.
- In the sketch, write the following code:
void setup() {
pinMode(13, OUTPUT);
}
void loop() {
digitalWrite(13, HIGH);
delay(1000);
digitalWrite(13, LOW);
delay(1000);
}
- This code sets pin 13 as an output using the `pinMode()` function in the `setup()` function.
- In the `loop()` function, it turns the LED on by setting pin 13 to `HIGH` using the `digitalWrite()` function, waits for a second using the `delay()` function, turns the LED off by setting pin 13 to `LOW`, and waits for another second.
- Verify that your Arduino Uno board is connected to your computer and select the correct board and port under the "Tools" menu.
- Upload the sketch to the Arduino Uno board by clicking on the "Upload" button.
- Once the sketch is uploaded, the LED connected to pin 13 should start blinking on and off every second.
Light up a LED connected to Pin 13 on the Arduino Uno
- To light up an LED connected to pin 13 on an Arduino Uno board, you can follow these steps:
- Connect the positive (anode) leg of the LED to pin 13 on the Arduino Uno board.
- Add a 300 Ohm resistor in series
- Connect the negative (cathode) leg of the LED to the GND pin on the Arduino Uno board.
- Open the Arduino IDE and create a new sketch.
- In the sketch, write the following code:
void setup() {
pinMode(13, OUTPUT);
}
void loop() {
digitalWrite(13, HIGH);
delay(1000);
digitalWrite(13, LOW);
delay(1000);
}
- This code sets pin 13 as an output using the `pinMode()` function in the `setup()` function.
- In the `loop()` function, it turns the LED on by setting pin 13 to `HIGH` using the `digitalWrite()` function, waits for a second using the `delay()` function, turns the LED off by setting pin 13 to `LOW`, and waits for another second.

- Upload the sketch to the Arduino Uno board by clicking on the "Upload" button.
