Blinking LED With Arduino!


Arduino UNO is a microcontroller board- it is the brain of any electronics project. In the following project, we will use Arduino UNO to blink an LED and give a visual demonstration of how high voltages can fuse the LED.

Components Required:

1.       Arduino UNO

2.       Arduino Cable

3.       BreadBoard

4.       LED

5.       Resistor

6.       Jumper Wires

Assembling:

1.       Connect pin 5 of Arduino to Anode(+) of LED, which is longer lead.

2.       Connect resistor’s one lead with the shorter lead of LED, and the other lead to GND (Ground) of Arduino.

3.       Connect Arduino to your Laptop using Cable.

Setting up Software

Copy-paste the given code on Arduino IDE and upload it on the board.

ALERT! Don’t Fuse Your LED

LED will fuse if you provide it a high voltage of 3.3/5V directly from Arduino. Let's see how it fuses in the following video:

DON’T TRY THIS YOURSELF, YOUR CIRCUIT MAY CATCH FIRE.


End Note:

Congratulation! You have successfully build your first Arduino project. It’s your 1st step towards mastering Arduino projects. To learn more about Arduino boards, setting up Arduino IDE, and step by step visual demo of the blink project, watch our video:

How To Make Line Follower Using Three IR Sensor | Arduino Line Following Car

Image
Line Follower Cars are autonomous cars that follow a given route. We have already learned to make a Line Following Car using 2 IR sensors to follow easy tracks . Today we'll make a Line following car using Arduino and 3 IR sensors , that will precisely follow a black line over a white surface , take sharp 90 degree turns and easily follow high curvature curves . Before moving ahead, make sure you understand the Working Mechanism of IR Sensor and learn how to make 2 IR Sensor Line Follower Robot . This project is an upgrade of 2 IR Sensor Line Follower Robot.  Hardware Setup Components Required: Arduino UNO Motor Driver L298N Car Chassis (Car Frame | 2 x DC gear Motor | 2 x Tires) Jumper Cables 3 x IR Sensor  Car Assembly: The first step is to assemble the car chassis. To learn more about assembly, refer to this article:  Assemble Car Chassis . For visual demonstration refer to this video:  Assemble Car Chassis .

How To Make Line Follower Car with Speed Control | 6 IR Sensor Arduino Line Following Car

Image
It's easy to make a robot that follows a line or smooth curves, but it becomes challenging to design the line follower robot when its track is complex. But we got you covered. Using 6 sensors and speed control of our car, we'll design our fast and advanced line following robot.  Before starting on this advanced project make sure you understand How Does An IR Sensor Works  and have tried making 2 Sensor Line Follower or 3 Sensor Line Follower . Hardware Setup Components Required Arduino UNO Motor Driver L298N 6 x IR Sensors (1 x TCRT5000 & 1 x HX-01) Car Chassis (Base & Motors & Wheel & Caster Wheel) 12V Battery Pack Jumper Cables Car Chassis Assembly Circuit Diagram Note: For speed control remove the tiny black jumper covering ENA and ENB pins on L298N. Make sure they are covered when not using the speed control, else project may not work. Software Setup Reading Analog Values of IR Sensor In our previous projects, we read digital values from IR Sensor - 0 for...
