Bread Bored

LED

6 Wires

Potentiometer

Arduino

Computer

Wire that connects Arduino to Computer

Take two wire for the negative and positive of the Breadboard. Attach negative wire to the Arduino GND. Then attach the positive wire to 5V.

Attach a new wire to A0, then place in the middle row of the Potentiometer on your bread bored.

Using the other two rows of the potentiometers, put in same colum as the wires for Positive and Negative on the breadboard.

Put through a resistor, then LED. Have the resistor connect to the negative part of bread board.

void setup() {

// put your setup code here, to run once:

int ledPin = 13;

pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);

}

int potPin = A0;

void loop() {

// put your main code here, to run repeatedly:

int ledPin = 13;

digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH);

delay(analogRead(potPin));

digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW);

delay(analogRead(potPin));

}
