Arduino: Blinking an LED

Support this Channel on Patreon:
/ thegeekpub
After my last video introducing the Arduino, some of you commented that you needed an example of how the Arduino works that is super simple to understand. So in this video we're going to do the absolute simplest of projects. We're going to be blinking an LED!
Check out our detailed Arduino Intro Article:
www.thegeekpub.com/236356/ard...
Parts list for this video:
* Arduino Uno: amzn.to/2GXoyVN
* Green LEDs: amzn.to/305QX4I
* 220 Ohm Resistors: amzn.to/2YcPxUk
* Breadboard/Wires: amzn.to/2VTOQlp

YAY! Your alive! Good to see you back. Thanks for the video! :)

[@matthiaswandel]

did you notice the send LED from the right in the last shot wasn't working?

[@TheGeekPub]

Yes, but not until after I posted the video. LOL.

[@drmjuae]

Tested :) Thank you.

Bless your cotton socks for highlighting the use of a resistor!

[@TheGeekPub]

Its amazing to me how many tutorials are filled with bogus information.

@@TheGeekPub I had a guy on a channel the other day making a fuss about how static sensitive something was along with showing his ESD strap and specifically saying it was connected to "a large metal object". I pulled him up on his lack of understanding of ESD and it's control (maintain zero potential difference between yourself and everything you are handling etc NOT make sure everything is "grounded"). He said he knew all about ESD and clarified the metal object was a grounded heater! The total misconceptions some "educators" have and pass off as knowledge is frightening. Either don't mention it at all or make darn sure you are sharing the correct information if you are claiming to be trying to teach people stuff :-)

This was a big help. Any advice on where to start with the coding side of things with Arduino for someone with no coding experience?

[@DecayingReverie]

If you search "elegoo most complete starter kit guide" in Google and click the first link, there is a PDF that comes with an Amazon kit that has a bunch of different examples of what you can do with an Arduino. There is a lot of help with the coding side of things in that PDF.

I've also put together a review of the best Arduino starter kits. The Elegoo @Decaying Reverie mentions is the one I've picked as #1: www.thegeekpub.com/18751/the-best-arduino-starter-kits-2019/

[@pileofstuff]

I'd suggest working through the examples that are included with the Arduino IDE. There are also beginner level explaintaions of all the functions of the programming language on the arduino.cc website.

Please give me program downloading link

[@rahulthapa7610]

can i use 10k ohm resistor??? please reply

[@rahulthapa7610]

i have arduino uno

[@goldydevgan]

no 10k will not work...

[@rahulthapa7610]

@@goldydevgan its working brother. perfectly fine.. bt the intensity of the LED is low.. but its fine

[@NuclearBullet16]

How would I make it flash slower?

[@TimMer1981]

Make the delay time longer, so in this case increase 1000 (which is a 1000 milliseconds a.k.a. 1 second) to a higher number. More on the delay function: www.tutorialspoint.com/arduino/arduino_delay_function.htm
