Section 3.4 - Mini Project 2


Get your hands dirty (again)!

In this lesson, you’ll have the opportunity to independently apply your skills by completing a mini-project that challenges your understanding of wiring and coding with Arduino. The project begins with an introduction through slides, where you’ll be tasked with wiring a second LED to the Arduino using any digital pin of your choice. Then, you’ll write code to alternate between the two LEDs—for example, having a red LED turn on first, followed by a blue LED. This project will test both your wiring abilities and coding knowledge, reinforcing your understanding of digital outputs and Arduino-based C++. As you alternate the LEDs, you’ll practice using delays and conditional statements, adding essential tools to your coding repertoire and building confidence in your ability to create dynamic Arduino projects independently.
