Circuit Documentation
Summary of the Circuit
This circuit consists of an Arduino UNO microcontroller, a red two-pin LED, and a resistor. The Arduino UNO is used as the control unit to manage the LED's state, turning it on or off. The LED serves as an indicator or a visual output device. The resistor is used to limit the current flowing through the LED to prevent it from burning out.
