Blinking LED — Your First Arduino Project
The classic first electronics project! Build a blinking LED circuit using an Arduino, a breadboard, a resistor, and a single LED. Perfect for absolute beginners — no soldering required.

Wire It Up
- Insert the LED into the breadboard — long leg (anode +) in one row, short leg (cathode −) in the next.
- Insert one leg of the 220Ω resistor into the same row as the LED cathode. Other leg in a separate row.
- Jumper wire from LED anode row → Arduino Pin 13.
- Jumper wire from resistor free row → Arduino GND.

// Blinking LED — Your First Arduino Project
// Turns an LED on for one second, then off for one second, repeatedly.
const int LED_PIN = 13; // Pin connected to the LED
void setup() {
pinMode(LED_PIN, OUTPUT); // Set pin 13 as an output
}
void loop() {
digitalWrite(LED_PIN, HIGH); // Turn LED ON
delay(1000); // Wait 1 second
digitalWrite(LED_PIN, LOW); // Turn LED OFF
delay(1000); // Wait 1 second
}
// EXPERIMENT IDEAS:
// - Change delay(1000) to delay(100) for fast blinking
// - Change delay(1000) to delay(2000) for slow blinking
// - Try delay(50) for a strobe effect
// - Use different values for ON and OFF times:
// delay(200) ON, delay(800) OFF = short flash
// delay(800) ON, delay(200) OFF = long flash

Troubleshooting:
- LED does not light up? Flip the LED — long leg toward Pin 13.
- LED stays on? Check code uploaded successfully.
- Nothing happens? Verify wiring matches the schematic in Step 2.
Next experiments:
- Change
delay()values to control blink speed - Add a second LED on Pin 12
- Replace with an RGB LED (see SIK Circuit 3)
