Lighting a Light Emitting Diode (LED) with the C Stamp Microcontroller

This is the first Design Project and Activity from the CS310XXX (μC 101)Reference Guide Manual by A-WIT Technologies, Inc.

In this instructable, we will light a Light Emitting Diode (LED) with the C Stamp Microcontroller.

The C Stamp Microcontroller is programmed in a subset of C called WC.

As a result of the C Stamp's user friendliness, we will be using it for the purposes of this demonstration.

Step 1 Parts Needed

To complete this Instructable, the following parts are needed:

1      Board of Learning Development Board - Microcontroller Fundamentals - µC 101
1     9 Volt DC 200 mA Power Supply - 120V AC Input (US, etc.)
1     USB Cable (6 Feet USB to Serial DB-9 Adaptor)
1     Green LED
1     287 OHM 1/4W ±1% Metal Film Resistor
2     Medium Length Wires

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The above is the bare minimum that is needed to complete this Instructable. However to fully learn and experiment with the C Stamp Microcontroller the Microcontroller Activity Kit - USB Connector - 120V Power Supply (US, etc.) is recommended. This kit not only includes the parts above but also all of the necessary parts to complete all of the activities in the CS310XXX (µC 101) Reference Guide Manual as well as other A-WIT Technologies Instructables.
