The materials needed for this lab were;
- The LED circuit board (with 20 pins, 15 LED's)
- Female connector (with 17 wires: 1+,1-)
- 2 Alligator Clips
- Screw Down Terminal
- Arduino Uno (no code needed, optional LED blink code)
- 7 Male-Male wires
- Power source (5 volt or USB cable)
Procedure
Connect all the wires leading from the circuit board, onto a screw down terminal (D-1 through D-15). Divide the wires into 4 terminals.
- Leave wire D-20 (power) as an individual terminal
- Screw down one Male-Male wire on of each of the five terminals
- Connect all of the 4 Male-Male wires to one Alligator clip. The 4 wires should share ground with all 15 of the "D"wires. Once this is done, connect the open side of the Alligator clip to a Male-Male wire, and place the wire on the ground of the Arduino.
- Do the same for the other side of the terminal for D-20, but instead place the wire on 5V,or if you plan to use an LED blink code, use one of the numbered pins.
- If it is a closes circuit, all the LED's should be on.
