LED It Up

arduino thing 2           arduino thing 1

Today, during class, we worked with breadboards, arduinos, and LEDs. We started out by connecting batteries to a breadboard (a board of sorts that lets you connect other things to each other. We then used wires to establish connections between the battery and an LED in order to close a circuit and light the LED. We did this is various ways (as you can see above).

Three things I learned:

  • I learned how breadboards worked and how the connections worked as well.
  • I learned that LED lights are very easy to burn out
  • I learned how to connect a battery and a switch into a closed circuit.
