Driving Multiple LEDs — SIK Circuit 4

Make eight LEDs dance! Learn about arrays, for loops, and multiple output patterns including chase, ping-pong, marquee, and random blink effects.

手順

Parts & Introduction

This experiment uses 8 LEDs to create light patterns. You'll learn about arrays (grouping related variables) and for loops (repeating actions efficiently). The sketch includes 6 different animation functions you can try.

Parts Needed

1x Arduino Uno + USB cable
1x Breadboard
8x LEDs (any color)
8x 330Ω Resistors
9x Jumper Wires

このステップの材料:

SparkFun Inventors Kit - V3.21 キット

Arduino Uno R31 個

Breadboard1 個

5mm LED8 個

330 Ohm Resistor8 個

Jumper Wires9 個

必要な工具:

Computer with Arduino IDE

Hardware Hookup

Wiring Instructions

Place 8 LEDs in a row on the breadboard.
For each LED, connect the negative leg (shorter) through a 330Ω resistor to GND.
Connect the positive leg (longer) of each LED to Arduino digital pins 2 through 9 (LED 1 = pin 2, LED 2 = pin 3, etc.).
Connect the GND rail on the breadboard to Arduino GND.

Tip: Keep the LEDs neatly spaced for the best visual effect.

Test & Experiment

What You Should See

All 8 LEDs light up one after another, then turn off in reverse order. This repeats continuously.

Troubleshooting

Some LEDs don't light: Easy to insert an LED backwards. Check polarity.
Out of sequence: With 8 wires, it's easy to cross a couple. Verify LED 1 is on pin 2, then each pin in order.
Starting fresh: Sometimes pulling everything out and re-wiring is faster than debugging.

Experiments to Try

Uncomment the other functions in loop() to try: oneOnAtATime(), pingPong(), marquee(), randomLED().
Create your own animation pattern!
Modify the delay times to change the speed.
