In this assignment you will create a circuit in Tinkercad that uses an:
\nArduino
\nbreadboard
\n220 ohm resistor (red, red, brown stripes)
\nan LCD display
\nwires as needed<\/p>\n
Part 1: Part 2:<\/strong> 4. Please color code your wires. You will turn in a Tinkercad link for your completed assignment.\u00a0 Here’s how to generate the link: http:\/\/rodmilstead.com\/pt\/subtcad\/<\/a><\/p>\n Resources:<\/strong> This circuit and program is all in Tinkercad – no “real” Arduino needed.

\nAfter you have built the circuit and program do the following – this is the circuit that you will submit for the assignment<\/strong><\/span>:<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/rodmilstead.com\/pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Screenshot-2025-03-11-at-8.03.39-AM-1024x811.png\")

\n1. modify your circuit to include an LED.\u00a0 Click here for a sample circuit.\u00a0<\/a>
\n2. modify your program to make the LED turn on for a second and then turn OFF for a second.\u00a0 Add a one second delay between the LED ON and the LED OFF.\u00a0 Here’s a link to the basics of wiring and programming an LED.\u00a0<\/a>
\n3. Program the display to display your name then “LED ON” or “LED OFF” when the LED is on or off.
\nHINT:<\/strong> look at the order of the code that makes the LED blink and the LCD display. Like this:
\nshow your name
\nwait a half a second
\nLED on
\nLCD display “red on”
\nwait a half a second
\nLCD off
\nLCD display “red off”
\nwait a half a second<\/p>\n
\nHINT: use lcd.clear() to erase the text on the display before the next message appears.<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nlcd.setCursor (0,0)<\/strong> sets the cursor position. The first number is the column and the second number is the row.\u00a0 So lcd,setCursor(2,0) would start in the first row, third column because the columns and rows start at 0. They correspond to this diagram:
