Write a Program - PS70 Project

Project Overview

For this project, I created a simple LED blinking program that demonstrates basic Arduino programming concepts. The program controls an LED connected to pin D7, making it flash on and off every second.

Arduino Code

const int ledPin = D7;  

void setup() {
  pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);  
}

void loop() {
  digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH); // Turn LED on
  delay(500);                 
  digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW);  
  delay(500);                 
}

Code Explanation

Pin Configuration

The LED is connected to pin D7, defined as a constant at the start of the program.

Setup Function

The setup function configures the LED pin as an output pin, allowing it to control the LED.

Main Loop

The loop function:

Turns the LED on
Waits for 500 milliseconds
Turns the LED off
Waits for another 500 milliseconds
Repeats continuously
