  1. Arduino - LED - Blink | Arduino Tutorial

  1. Controlling an LED with Arduino is one of the simplest and most common beginner projects. It helps you understand digital output control and basic Arduino programming.

    Steps to Blink the Built-in LED

    1. Connect Arduino to PC

    • Use a USB cable to connect your Arduino Uno (or compatible board) to your computer.

    2. Open Arduino IDE

    • Select the correct board and port from the Tools menu.

    3. Write the Code

    • The built-in LED is usually connected to pin LED_BUILTIN (pin 13 on most boards).

    // Blink built-in LED every second
    void setup() {
    pinMode(LED_BUILTIN, OUTPUT); // Set LED pin as output
    }

    void loop() {
    digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, HIGH); // Turn LED ON
    delay(1000); // Wait 1 second
    digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, LOW); // Turn LED OFF
    delay(1000); // Wait 1 second
    }
    Copied!

    4. Upload and Test

    • Click Upload in Arduino IDE.

    • The onboard LED will blink ON and OFF every second.
