Below is an example of how to use the Electrocookie Uno Propboard with an LED and a resistor:
// Example: Blink an LED using the Electrocookie Uno Propboard
// Connect the LED's anode (+) to digital pin 13 and cathode (-) to GND
// Use a 220-ohm resistor in series with the LED to limit current
const int ledPin = 13; // Pin connected to the LED
void setup() {
pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT); // Set the LED pin as an output
}
void loop() {
digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH); // Turn the LED on
delay(1000); // Wait for 1 second
digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW); // Turn the LED off
delay(1000); // Wait for 1 second
}
