The iHacklab Blinker

How to build Christmas Lights on an Arduino:

by J.B. Wylzan

Project 2:  The Blinking Lights

This project will blink all 9 leds at the same time.

*Instead of using 1 pin, this project will use 9 pins.These pins will turn on and off repeatedly. This project will also teach you how to program. It will also provide you some challenges like:
1. Turn on only all even leds.
2. Turn on only all odd leds.
3. Turn on and off all even and all odd leds.
4. Turn all leds on and off 
5. Turn all leds on and off with different delays


Hardware:
9 LEDs
9 resistors, 200 ohms
connecting wires
breadboard
Arduino UNO
