gizDuino Blink LED

Review:

What is LED?

A light-emitting diode is a two-lead semiconductor light source. It is a p-n junction diode that emits light when activated.

Negative polarity or Cathode “-“ is the shortest pin. (see also the LED bulb with flat side)

Positive polarity or Anode “+” is the longest pin.

What is a Resistor?

A resistor is a passive two-terminal electrical component that implements electrical resistance as a circuit element. The resistor’s resistance limits the flow of electrons through a circuit. They passive components, meaning they only consume power.

Code:

	/*
	"GizDuino Starter kit"
	BLINK Sample code
	STEP 1: Construct the circuit of GizDuino Blink.
	STEP 2: Connect the USB Cable to your computer.
	STEP 3: Open the Arduino IDE.
	STEP 4: Open the BLINK Sample code from GizDuino Starter kit code.
	STEP 5: Then, click Upload.
	This sample code is based on Arduino Example>Basic>Blink.
	It is a simple program turns on the LED in 1 second and turn off in 1 second.
	This example code is in the public domain.
