Sure, it’s fun to make lights blink.<\/p>\n

Even more fun to use an input to control what your Arduino can do.<\/p>\n

Follow along below and turn in your finished program on Canvas.<\/a><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. BEFORE YOU OPEN your program: make a copy of\u00a0 your multiple LED program in Tinkercad.<\/a><\/li>\n
  2. Use the diagram below to add a button to your circuit. \u00a0Pay close attention to the types of resistors that are used (look at the colored stripes).<\/li>\n
  3. after you add the button, use the other diagram below to modify your program so that it works with the button.<\/li>\n
  4. when you are done, please follow these instructions to share your Tinkercad program on Canvas.\u00a0<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Color code:<\/strong>
    \nred wires- leading from pins to breadboard
    \nblack wires- ground
    \ngreen wires- button
    \nyellow wires – input from pin 2<\/p>\n
