EXPERIMENT #1: FLASH AN LED
LEDs are everywhere; virtually every piece of electronic equipment that provides
some indication to a user can or does use LEDs.
experiment is to flash an LED with the BASIC Stamp, as flashing LEDs are frequently
used as alarm and status indicators.
Look It Up: PBASIC Elements to Know
Building the Circuit
All StampWorks experiments use a dashed line to indicate components that are
installed on the PDB. The LED is available on the “LEDS” section of the PDB, just to
the right of the BASIC Stamp socket.
The PDB has 16 discrete LEDs built in; connect just one to the BASIC Stamp module.
