Circuit Documentation

Summary

This circuit consists of an Arduino UNO microcontroller, a red LED, and a 200 Ohm resistor. The Arduino UNO is programmed to blink the LED on and off at one-second intervals.

Component List

LED: Two Pin (red)

  • Description: A red LED with two pins: anode and cathode.
  • Purpose: To emit light when current flows through it.

Resistor

  • Description: A resistor with two pins.
  • Purpose: To limit the current flowing through the LED.
  • Properties:
    • Resistance: 200 Ohms

Arduino UNO

  • Description: A microcontroller board based on the ATmega328P.
  • Purpose: To control the LED blinking through its digital I/O pins.

Wiring Details

LED: Two Pin (red)

  • Anode: Connected to D13 of the Arduino UNO.
  • Cathode: Connected to pin2 of the Resistor.

Resistor

  • Pin1: Connected to GND of the Arduino UNO.
  • Pin2: Connected to the cathode of the LED.

Arduino UNO

  • D13: Connected to the anode of the LED.
  • GND: Connected to pin1 of the Resistor.

Code Documentation

Arduino UNO Code

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 of the Arduino UNO as an output pin. In the main loop, it turns the LED on for one second and then off for one second, creating a blinking effect.
