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

Materials for this step:

SparkFun Inventors Kit - V3.2SparkFun Inventors Kit - V3.21 किट
Arduino Uno R31 टुक्रा
Breadboard1 टुक्रा

Hardware Hookup

Wiring Instructions

  1. Place 8 LEDs in a row on the breadboard.
  2. For each LED, connect the negative leg (shorter) through a 330Ω resistor to GND.
  3. Connect the positive leg (longer) of each LED to Arduino digital pins 2 through 9 (LED 1 = pin 2, LED 2 = pin 3, etc.).
  4. 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.
