Introduction to Arduino

Today’s goals:
1. build an LED circuit on your breaboard using jumper wires and a resistor.
2. connect the Arduino to your breadboard.
3. connect your computer to the computer and upload a program.
3. use the Arduino BLINK program to control the LED on your breadboard.  Change the interval of the blinking.
4. Add two more LEDs to your breadboard circuit.  Use LEDs of different colors.
5. Modify your BLINK program to make each LED blink one after the other.

Extension – add two more LEDs to your  breadboard and create a blinking sequence using all three LEDs.
