Learn how to make a LED light up! No coding required!

Supplies

You will need:

Any Arduino board as long as it has a GND and a 3.3-5V hole.

Your choice amount of any color LED lights.

2 male-to-male (point-to-point) wires.

A breadboard.

A Arduino USB capable connector, either to a power source or your computer.

(All of this will come with a basic starter Arduino kit.)

Step 1: Give Power to the Breadboard

In this step, you will connect the GND and 3.3V of the Arduino to the breadboard, so power can be supplied to the LED later.

Step 2: Place the LEDs

In this step, you will identify the two sides of the LED and place it in the breadboard.

Step 3: Connect to a Power Source

Troubleshooting:

Try reconnecting your wires.

Check the LED's sides.

Make sure you are connected to the computer.

Step 4: You're Done!
