LED Chasing

What will we do

In this lesson we will add one more LED and create a light chasing effect. We will use 3 of the same color LED’s**.**

The sequence for the code will be as follows

  • Turn LED1 ON

  • Wait for 0.5 second

  • Turn LED1 OFF and LED2 ON

  • Wait for 0.5 second

  • Turn LED2 OFF and LED3 ON

  • Wait for 0.5 second

  • Turn LED2 ON and LED3 OFF

  • Wait for 0.5 second

  • Turn LED2 OFF and LED1 ON

Parts List

You will need the following parts:

  • 1x arduino uno

  • 1x arduino USB Cable

  • 1x Breadboard

  • 3x Jumper Wire

  • 3x LED (all same colour)

  • 3x Resistor

Wiring it up

Ensure that the LED are the right way around, with the longer positive leads (anodes) to the left.
