Features

• 10 green 5mm LEDs
• Type F8 (check the datasheet for specifications)
• SKU: ARD0012364
• Price: 1.72 €

What it is for

These LEDs can be used as light indicators to signal the status of a circuit or prototype. They are suitable for beginners and makers who want to add a visual touch to their electronic projects. They can be connected to an Arduino or other microcontrollers to create flashing or animation effects.

Tutorial: How to use F8 Green 5mm LED Kit

The F8 Green 5mm LED Kit is ideal for beginners and makers who want to create light indicators in their electronic projects. This kit of 10 pieces allows you to add a visual touch to your circuits.

What you need

• Arduino Uno
• Test head connectors
• Paper circuit printing
• 5V power supply

Steps

1. Check the LED polarity: the longer leg is the anode (+)
2. Connect the LED anode to an Arduino output pin
3. Connect the LED cathode to a 220 ohm resistor
4. Connect the other end of the resistor to the 5V power supply
5. Write a sketch to turn on the LED
6. Verify the LED operation
7. Modify the sketch to make the LED blink
8. Repeat the process for all LEDs in the kit

Example code

void setup() {
  pinMode(13, OUTPUT);
}

void loop() {
  digitalWrite(13, HIGH);
  delay(1000);
  digitalWrite(13, LOW);
  delay(1000);
}

Mini project

Create a custom blinker LED. Connect an LED to pin 13 of the Arduino, write a sketch to make the LED blink and modify the blink cycle.

Common mistakes

• Connect the LED to the circuit without a resistor
• Set a blink cycle that is too fast
• Use an inadequate power supply
• Ignore the LED polarity

Recommended accessories

• 220 ohm resistor
• Test leads
• Circuit board on paper
• Arduino Uno
