Setting up the circuit

But first, we gotta get basic.

Ingredients:

• Arduino Uno
• RGB LED with common anode configuration
• 330Ω resistor
• Breadboard
• Jumper cables

Circuit

• 5V of Arduino Uno to the resistor
• Connect the other end of resistor to common anode of LED
• Connect the other pins of the LED to the Arduino digital pins
  • RED -> pin 3
  • GREEN -> pin 5
  • BLUE -> pin 6

Arduino IDE

You can use:

• Lab computers
• Arduino Cloud
• Install Arduino IDE on your laptop

Test your Arduino is working

• Go to File > Examples > 01.Basic > Blink
• Select the correct COM Port
• Upload the file to your arduino

You should see the onboard LED blinking. (If not, please let one of the robotics officers know)
