Introduction: How to Make Two Blinking LED Eyes With Your Arduino Uno
I'm going to show you how to make two blinking LED eyes.
Step 1: Connect the Hardware
You will need:
- Arduino Uno.
- 4 Jumper Wires.
- 2 LEDs (I used red ones)
- 1 330ohm resistor.
Now follow this schematic to connect the hardware.
Step 2: Load the Program
Open the Arduino software and copy and paste this:
// the setup function runs once when you press reset or power the board
void setup() {
// initialize digital pin 13 as an output.
pinMode(13, OUTPUT); }
// the loop function runs over and over again forever
void loop() {
digitalWrite(13, HIGH); // turn the LED on (HIGH is the voltage level)
delay(4000); // wait for a second
digitalWrite(13, LOW); // turn the LED off by making the voltage LOW
delay(200); // wait for a second }
OR you can go to File>Examples>Basics>Blink.
When that's open, Change the first delay to 4000 and the second delay to 200. (It'll make it blink more like eyes)
Step 3: Upload the Program to Your Arduino
Now click Verify then Upload (Make sure your Arduino is plugged in)
Have Fun!
