What you need

• 5mm F8 Yellow LED Kit – 10 Pieces
• 330Ω resistor (check the datasheet)
• Arduino or compatible microcontroller
• USB cable

Steps

1. 1. Assembly: Assemble the LEDs on a prototyping board or PCB.
2. 2. Connection: Connect the VCC and GND pins to the corresponding pins of the microcontroller.
3. 3. Connect the anode (VCC) pin of each LED to a pin of the microcontroller.
4. 4. Connect a resistor in series with each LED between the anode pin and VCC.
5. 5. Connect the cathode (GND) pin of each LED to GND.
6. 6. Load the Arduino code.
7. 7. Test the LED with a simple blinking sketch.
8. 8. Turn the LEDs on and off with a for loop.

Example code

void loop() { for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) { digitalWrite(i, HIGH); delay(500); digitalWrite(i, LOW); delay(500); } }

Mini project

Create a status indicator for a device with 10 LEDs that light up in sequence.

Common mistakes
