    Make a Blinking LED Project with Arduino

    As a first project, making sure everything works as intended and just to show how simple it is to create a working program, we will make a microcontroller version of “Hello, World!”: A blinking LED light. Depending on what board you have, you may need an additional LED if one does not come along on…

    What are Arduino Shields ?

    A great addition to the Arduino project was the introduction of  Arduino Shields which are directly mountable on an Arduino board, providing extra functionality such as wireless communication, ethernet or servo/stepper motor control. The possibilities of the hardware are just limitless and this adds to the increased functionality with the Arduino’s.  The functionality directly depends…
