To carry out this simple tutorial 5, below are the items you need alongside your computer with an arduino program already installed.
1. Arduino UNO board
2. Breadboard
3. Male-male connection cables
4. A 330Ω resistors (orange, orange, brown)
5. A 10kΩ resistor (brown, black, orange)
6. One red LED
7. One push/button
Below is the program for this tutorial 5:
//Constant declaration
#define LED 12 // Pin to which the red LED is connected
#define BUTTON 2 // Pin to which the push button is connected
//Pin configurations
void setup ()
{
pinMode (LED, OUTPUT);
pinMode (BUTTON, INPUT);
digitalWrite (LED, LOW);
}
void loop ()
{
//Depending on the value read from the button, the LED turns on or off
if (digitalRead (BUTTON) == LOW)
digitalWrite (LED, HIGH);
else
digitalWrite (LED, LOW);
}
