4 Ways to Control LEDs with the Arduino
7The Arduino is an amazingly versatile device, but we all start off learning it with LEDs! This video goes over 4 unique ways to control LEDs using an Arduino, a Breadboard, some resistors, LEDs, and jumper wires. Lots and Lots of jumper wires!
Hopefully by the end you will have an understanding of the methodologies of controlling LEDs directly with the Arduino Pins, by utilizing Multiplexing, and by utilizing Charlieplexing.
