with the students.
Αctivity 2 «Creating a lighthouse»
- Prepare the necessary equipment:
• 1 Arduino Uno Board
• 1 solderless breadboard
• 1 LED
• 1 resistor of 220 ohms
• 2 wires “father to father”
• USB cable
- Consider the scheme you will be making:
Watch the end result video: https://youtu.be/bKL-Er_2FwQ
- Connect the wire “father to father” cable to the Arduino Uno Board: 13 & i14
- Connect the wire “father to father” cable to the Arduino Uno Board: GND & h9
- Connect the 1 resistor to the Arduino Uno Board: h14 & h10
- Connect the 1 LED to the Arduino Uno Board: i9 & i10
- Connect the usb-cable to the Arduino Uno Board and your computer
