Multiple Choice

What are the main components that we used in Blinking LED circuit ?

• LED

• Buzzer

• Ultrasonic sensor

• Light sensor

Multiple Choice

What is the name of program we used to simulate the LED blinking circuit

• TinkerCad

• Word

• Canva

• Exel

Multiple Choice

Why we use the resistor in the Blinking LED cirduit ?

• used to quickly connect components

• to limit currents.

  In the circuit

• a matrix of holes connected to each other to create electronic circuits.

Use red, yellow, and green lights to control traffic flow at intersections,

Blinking LED in real life:

Objective:

• •Connecting the physical components.Explain what the Arduino IDE is and why we use it.

• •Identify the main parts of the Arduino IDE interface.

• •Write, verify, and upload a simple sketch to the Arduino board.

• •Understand the workflow: Write → Verify → Upload → Monitor.

🔌 Circuit Connection (Blinking LED):

Arduino IDE

Arduino IDE (Integrated Development Environment) is the official software used to write, edit, and upload code to Arduino boards.

Once the Arduino IDE is installed, the interface is easy to use:

Every Arduino sketch (program) has two main parts:

💻 Sample Arduino Code:

void setup() {

  pinMode(13,OUTPUT);

}

void loop() {

  digitalWrite(13,HIGH);

  delay(1000);

  digitalWrite(13,LOW);

  delay(1000);

 }

1. "A" Write the command in void setup

2. "B" Check.

3. "A" Write the command in void loop.

4. "B" Check.

   Switch and repeat.

Multiple Choice

What is the function of the digitalWrite() command in Arduino programming?

• Read analog sensor values

• Set a pin HIGH or LOW

• Print text on the serial monitor

• Create delays in the program

Multiple Choice

What does the delay() function do in Arduino programming?

• Turn off the LED

• Set the pin to OUTPUT mode

• Control the speed of the LED blink

• Change the color of the LED

Multiple Choice

delay(5000); stands for

• Wait 5 minutes
• Wait 5 seconds
• Wait 50 seconds

Multiple Choice

Why is a resistor important?

• It isn't important
• It increases the power of a circuit
• It controls the flow of electricity by lessening it to a certain amount

Multiple Choice

what is the name of this chip

• Break

• Twix

• Embedded

• Arduino
