You can do lots of different things with Arduino. Check out some examples at the MAKE MAGAZINE link on the right. Click on the projects tab.

- Reconnect your circuit to the blue Arduino Uno. You can use the same bread board.,
- Connect to the computer (USB in the back of the computer)
- Find your blink program from last week. If you can't find it or weren't here, see day 1 instructions below.
- Connect your board to the computer (USB in the back). Be VERY careful with the connections. If you are not sure, please ask for help.
- Under TOOLS, check the BOARD to make sure you have Arduino Uno/Geninuo selected.
- Under TOOLS, check the PORT to make sure you have the address that has the numbers in it.
- Click the arrow in the software to see if it uploads. You should see lights blinking and blink should start working on your board.
- Ask for help if you aren't sure.
- Once your circuit is complete and working, work on the following modifications:
- Change the blink rate of your LED. Make it blink for a shorter period of time and a longer period of time.
- At some point, our eyes will not sense the LED blinking. Figure out the fastest blink rate that we can see.
- Heartbeat: Make your LED blink like a heartbeat. You will need to add more lines of code to do this.
- Add a second LED to the same circuit.
- Add a second LED circuit to your breadboard. Attach it to Pin 12. Add code to your program to make both of the LED's blink.
