Circuit Documentation

Summary

This circuit consists of an Arduino UNO microcontroller, a red LED, a 5V battery, and a 200 Ohm resistor. The Arduino UNO is powered by the 5V battery and controls the LED, which is connected through the resistor to limit the current.

Component List

Arduino UNO

  • Description: A microcontroller board based on the ATmega328P.
  • Pins: UNUSED, IOREF, Reset, 3.3V, 5V, GND, Vin, A0, A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, SCL, SDA, AREF, D13, D12, D11, D10, D9, D8, D7, D6, D5, D4, D3, D2, D1, D0

LED: Two Pin (red)

  • Description: A red light-emitting diode.
  • Pins: cathode, anode

5V Battery

  • Description: A power source providing 5 volts.
  • Pins: positive, negative

Resistor

  • Description: A 200 Ohm resistor used to limit current.
  • Pins: pin1, pin2
  • Properties:
    • Resistance: 200 Ohms

Wiring Details

Arduino UNO

  • 5V connected to positive of the 5V Battery
  • GND connected to negative of the 5V Battery
  • GND connected to cathode of the LED
  • D13 connected to pin2 of the Resistor

LED: Two Pin (red)

  • cathode connected to GND of the Arduino UNO
  • anode connected to pin1 of the Resistor

5V Battery

  • positive connected to 5V of the Arduino UNO
  • negative connected to GND of the Arduino UNO

Resistor

  • pin1 connected to anode of the LED
  • pin2 connected to D13 of the Arduino UNO

Code

Arduino UNO Code (sketch.ino)

void setup() {
  // put your setup code here, to run once:
  pinMode(13, OUTPUT);
}

void loop() {
  // put your main code here, to run repeatedly:
  digitalWrite(13, HIGH);
  delay(1000);
  digitalWrite(13, LOW);
  delay(1000);
}

This code sets up pin 13 as an output and toggles it high and low every second, causing the LED to blink.
